First start off with a reseller, so you get the feel of how to manage things, instead of plunging headlong into buying a dedicated server. When you are comfortable with things, and as you get more customers, that's when you may want to buy a server for your hosting company.

Also, make sure that you have a lot of technical know-how and are really knowledgeable in WHM/Plesk/whatever software you may be using.

I think to start a web hosting business one should have a proper business plan, financial investment, highly educated team, good infrastructure.
In business only two things are possible profit or loss nothing more than that so one should be big-hearted to grieve it.

My opinion is PATIENT.

If you want to start one, don't rush to buy hosting since the price is cheap or best deal. Just do some plannings and design. When your design and site is ready then you can start find for hosting.

I think the key factor is starting a hosting business, People tend to buy dedicated servers ob there fiest months. I think that is totally pointless and are loosing great money. I think you should start with a good reliable reseller or vps if you want to offer reseller accounts. And stick with that for at least the first 6 months. And then when you have enough customers (30) buy a dedicated server. Thats the most frequent error in starting a web hosting business.

Regards,
TheCoder

Very good point TheCoder, starting with a reseller or VPS is the best option and when you have enough customers and you learn to manage a server then you can move on to a dedicated server.
