Ok then should I open a video sharing site. That is good and that is 100% legal

no....they're not

Also, hard drives. Normal hard drives can read/write pretty well in normal circumstances, but if you have many clients writing info at the same time on a HD, this will drastically decrease your HD's read/write speed and life since the cpu of the HD has to write at multiple places at the time. Normal HD's under heavy loads can break and die pretty fast. Try WD caviar black edition (dual-core HD) or if you can afford it Solid State drives.

It's gonna increase cost. You'll also need backup servers for your normal servers.

i thnk u better start somthing like a rapidleech service first by hiring a server, see how that goes and then try the hosting thing, but remember its gonna take a long time for you to even think about breakevening and also if u dont hve the technical expertise get a couple of guys who r at the top pf thier game other wise u'll just loose ur money....

In my experience all our projects starts from 1 server (even vps). But such a service must have i at least 2 servers, when one of the machines is a data storage server backend, and another is web frontend.
