There are many things that it takes to create a web hosting company.
You will need servers, a cooling apparatus, security, technicians, a knowledge of windows and unix operating systems, redundant direct connections to the internet backbone, a good knowledge of how to market your services and the search engines. How domains are routed using the dns systems and an automation system for your customers for signing up and customer support.
If you want to be competitve you will need many other things such as 24/7 live tech support using multiple media such as phones, email, trouble tickets and live support chat. Others include pre-installed cgi scripts, ecommerce abilities, shopping carts and connections with merchant service providers, and a design team that can offer top notch web development.
There are many aspects and that are involved in creating and running your own hosting company. If you don't have the expertise through formal education or on site training, I would not recommend that you try to just jump into it without knowing what you are doing.
There are other ways that you can start up your own hosting comapny that doesn't involve all the head aches of actually running or owning everything that I listed and those that I didn't because of space limitations. If you really want to learn what it takes to create and run a web hosting company, I recommend that you start off as a reseller for a web hosting company such as us. We offer a reseller plan that will allow you to have your own hosting company without having to purchase all the hardware, software, personell and physical locations to do it. You set your own prices and bill your own customers and we bill you and never contact your customers. All you have to concentrate on is building your site and attracting new customers while we handle all the technical support anonymously. As far as your customers are concerned, they think they are talking to you when they are actually speaking with one of our technicians. We remain invisible to your customers so you can build your own name as a web hosting provider. If you would like to learn more about our reseller options you can go to our site at

If you have to ask what it takes to create a web hosting company, you are not ready to start one. Your best option is to start as a reseller. Whether for us or any of the others that offer reseller plans.
