How to start your own web hosting company!

Here goes:

- start with free reseller account so you can earn up to 5$/month to be able to purchase your own reseller. I would recomend searching for a free cpanel reseller: they do exist! Offer free web-hosting trials. ( see second paragraph)
- get your own reseller, continue giving free trials! and paid hosting, try to make around 70$/month of profit.
- move to VPS

While you start your company proceed as follows:
- remember make a cool, attractive design, purchase a template if necessary. Think of a nice name, avoid using the word 'host' in your domain.
- Give free trials: first month free webhosting, you can do this by using coupons.
- remember everything should be automatic: here is a thread i made on automatic cpanel generation!:
http://www.freehostforum.com/thread12081.html
- well advertise your site! try using banner ads, create a captive logo and motto for your site!
- Ask users if they need help, show that you care!
- give useres who have hosted for over 6 months (first months) a free something, like 1 month free, they will tell there friends to join you!
- come one, that already enough, you should be earning around 100$/month with this!

LAST STEP: move to dedicated, remember: bandwidth is expensive, use it wisely (120$/TB/month)
I nearly fainted when my ISP told me that!

Thank you for this, but there are so many resellers and hosters out there that it is hard to make any much anymore :x

That is if you are willing to leave your computer ON 24/7, I recommend using a old computer that can run windows 2000/XP.
Just install a apache server on your computer, and your good to go! (there are literally billions of tutorials on installing a apache server, please google it)

i have apache server installed and others but i need to know of bandwidth. Like if i want to have 100 unique visitors daily how much bandwidth i need for net connection.

I heard that no. of simultaneous users accessing ur pages decides what should be speed of your internet connection.is it right.any help appreciated..

100 unique visitors/day, for a few pages is absolutely OK. as long as you pages are not filled with pictures, or animations hosted on your computer, it will owrk like a charm.
What's your upload and download speed so i can tell you how may visitors you can have online at the same time
