Regarding hosting business - It is not that difficult to handle and start hosting business if you have a good web host who is with you for your help also if you have technical knowledge such as server installation, account setting and billing issues will help you a lot.

I will suggest you to start with reseller hosting and once you get handful of clients and improves you knowledge then you can opt for Dedicated hosting.

Really if you work hard and try to give best service to your customers you can earn better.

All the Best..........

using google, wikipedia and knowledge sources, learn in a few days/weeks the bases of it, then you can start... if you start withouth knowing anything, chances are your webhost is oging to disappear sooner or later u_u

Well, I used to use APlus.NET - you could use them and resell their services!

If you are talking about the technicalities over being a webhost provider, the answer would be "no". With Internet threats all the time, trying to put out fires would be very draining without the correct expertise to back you up, not to mention the capital required.

If you are simply talking about hosting a single machine at someone's office, then by all means, Linux or an IIS host is "simple as" - just remember to plug a firewall between your host and the Internet, and preferably your host and the data repository (e.g. if storing private data via SQL servers or something).
