1. buy a bunch of rootservers
2. set up a apache server and all the other stuff u want to offer
3. get a software to manage the useraccount (like cpanel)
4. create a website that shows your offers
5. wait for customers and realise that u need some employees to manage and support your customers
i think u dont really know how much work it is to host such a service. you would need a good education in System Integration and have to spend a lot money before u can start earning something. there is no 5 step tutorial to do such a thing
Lol, your "five step tut" is pretty good, lol.Quote:

Start with something realistically manageable, and go from there.
It's hard to make money selling hosting alone, in fact given the competition, nearly impossible. There are numerous reseller hosting mediums, you can even offer Private Servers/Reseller Hosting.
The only hard part is competing with HostGator and other mediums in terms of prices... Without an "enterprise" of servers and bandwidth, you simply can't compete with the "Unlimited" marketing gimmick... (As we all know there's no such thing as "Unlimited".. This becomes much more clear when you HAVE a privately hosted server with REAL Ram and CPU to handle, and REAL bandwidth numbers.. I have a good amount of Hard Disk Space, but it's anything but "Unlimited", to my clients.... :cool:)
So, if you want your OWN servers, get ONE. Or, convert an existing PC to a linux (Ubuntu/Debian) and go from there. Get XAMPP for a ready-built package (some other LAMPs out there, but it depends on how bad you want to reinvent the wheel how many piece-by-piece packages you get and integrate them.... It's a bitch to do this..)
Experimenting is all your home server should be for, it makes as a good research candidate. Learn to Port Forward, (if needed), learn to set up functional security, if you're good at PHP or Ruby (for example), you can even set up an Administration area where you can access your server and settings from any computer (Ie: the could). Security is a tough nut to crack, but starting with a UNIX system, it's more "keeping" it secure, than "making" it secure. (contrary to Windows, where BOTH are always priority).
Not saying you're going to start your hosting enterprise with this information, but there's nothing wrong with experiementing (except the fact you'll be spending loads of time on something that's been achieved years and years ago, and the hard work will never really amount to anything worth-while, except in terms of hard knowledge & experience.. The people working for HostGator likely went through some kind of "Unix Server Boot-Camp" which I'm attempting (at such an early hour) to describe..)
By all means, good luck to you :thumbup1:
Sell me cheap enterprise hosting someday ;)
