See the forums Running a Web Hosting Business and Running a Web Hosting Business Tutorials. They're a good starting point.

How much research have you already put into this? I would suggest you do some research on your own, if you haven't done any.

Probably best fitting this in the "Running a Webhosting Business" section
However, what experience, background, or knowledge do you have of running systems and setting up services?

What is your experience and current skill set in regards to hosting, server management, etc?
If you're thinking this is a 'get rich while working at home' scheme, thats hardly the case. The hosting industry is saturated and highly competitive, and unless you're able to target a specific niche or bring something new to the table its going to be a long road ahead.
For starters, you need a plan. You may think you don't, but 6 months down the road when you have 4 clients and are still paying out of pocket to run your servers you'll understand the importance of having a set plan that will provide understanding to the possibilities of your business in the future.Last edited by MannDude; 02-20-2011 at 04:50 PM.

1. types of hosting
2. Dedicated and VPS Server
4. Billing
4. how you will promote your services
