It's not a good idea to buy such an expensive server for the beginning. How will you make a profit with that? Do you have a business plan? If you are not experienced in Linux I would suggest you getting a managed solution. When the server gets down you have no time to learn how to fix it.

Once you start getting clients make them happy. Word of mouth can make you or break you.
I dont need to make any profit, just to help me with the server bills. And you are right about the expensive server. Well i don't know what server to buy and i can stop ddos protections, and im experienced well in linux. But i will need more people i might hire you. So you can get some % from the money i get.

It all depends on the clients, i am not sure what to do. If someone is interesed that would buy hosting from me would be better.
