Bad Idea if you dont have any Experience!!

[hatem20]

I wouldn't advise you to get into the hosting market unless you have enough experience to offer reliable services. Otherwise you will fail. It's not about money^

[cyberlater]

well if you have enough money to start,then do it

[Devilz]

Another Option for you :-
1. Hire a Exp. Person For your Hosting work & pay him good !

U should only have two requirements that's Important:
1)Money to start with
2) A Brain to fool People

^^ harsh..

Anyways, I don't think the profit margins are very high in web hosting as the field is super competitive

What Glumbo said is perfect.

If you want to run a successful hosting business, you need to think something different, something out-of-the-box. The hosting market is so much liquidated that, if you have a strong investor, you can run a good business, else you'll incur heavy losses.

i agree with BlaZe, also you have to plan your target market. if you want to sell a offshore hosting account, you have to plan your marketing statergy. for example,

1. your target user -- most offshore hosting user gonna use it as warez site/forum
2. suitable TOS -- make your tos suitable with what your are selling (better if you ask your main provider first)
3. where you should advertise it -- possibly some warez/hacking forum?
4. attractive hosting plan -- just make it unique
5. payment gateway -- make your payment gateway available for them to pay for the hosting package (usually paypal/alertpay and liberty reserve)
6. support -- just make sure you know what you are doing
