That would really depend on what experience you have. If you have a limited understanding of the hosting industry, then you could probably expect an affiliate position at the most.
This also might be better suited in the employment requests forum or lounge.

A lot of good research here on WHT and a lot of education, at least to be successful.

These things we do not provide/offer : Unlimited Storage ! Unlimited Bandwidth ! But Why? Cause, we were unable to put such a large number on our pages, it just would not fit.
So check out the numbers that actually fit >> << the page as well as your budget too !

yeah, deep pockets are always a big plus in any industry as well as a nice fat rolodex.

I think these are pretty much the basic requirements:
- a lot of patience
- in-depth knowledge about linux (or windows/solaris/etc depending what the company uses)
- basic knowledge about networking
- customer relations and PR
- a new idea. Unless you are going to offer something new, you're not really going to stand a chance against all the established competition

You need to give top priority to the customer satisfaction. Beacuse keeping the existing customers is tougher than getting new ones.

True that. As somebody who has been scraped and bruised by hosts in the past, I'd gladly pay a company that would just treat me like a human being for once. The customer isn't always right, but at least listen to what they have to say.

I found that companies are willing to train you if you sign a contract that you won't leave for --- so long.

A big part of the equation is how serious are you about this. If you are some young teenager looking for a few dollars or a college student needing some decent cash you have different options. A lot of small hosting companies give you a free reseller and maybe some money.... That being said there are plenty out there that pay a real living wage, it depends on your time comitment, experience, and some luck.

If your looking to work for another company, check out job opportunities, and other such like available in your local area. Depending on your qualifications, you'll probably find somewhere to take you in. Whether it be a "Tea Boy" or a Technical Support Manager... You've gotta start somewhere

You need to know how to support what the company's clients are using. Web, Mail, FTP, remote access, and basic database connectivity. You should know how to support these on both *nix and MS or be really really good with one or the other. Customers are going to be using those services to make their business succeed and you need to know how to make them successfull.
Cheers!
