Hello,

If you want to become a host, first you must have a proper business plan.
The business strategy etc. Of course you also need :

1. Extensive knowledge on IT business enviroment
2. If you do not have partner, then you should have a good IT skill.
3. Have backup plan on the crisis
4. Proper financial and cash flow estimation

The list can go on

Thank you,

You could start with a reseller plan and establish a foundation on the business. providing good service to customer is very very important in this business

Reseller hosting is a good start. You concentrate of getting sales and closing deal and left the technical parts to your provider.
