What do I need to start a server hosting company, and webhosting company??
11
I'm actually working on getting some new servers in my data center in Chicago. Here's some ideas if you're serious. If not... Move along.
Caution: To be successful this way you'll need to invest anywhere from $12,000 - $90,000 depending on if you buy your own data center. In total my previous company spent (in it's lifetime) 190,000 dollars on servers and the data center. However in profit we recieved 230,000 (in a ten year period). Since you asked what you need here's a list of the essentials.
Buy a minimum of 4 rack servers along with a server rack with liquid cooling. (About 5000 - 11,000 depending on what brand/type)
If you're serious buy a data center (make sure you buy a location in a large city that recieves very good internet connection (Chicago, New York, England, etc.)
Buy a minimum of 1 router per server (depending on if they are shared or dedicated)
Register with your state and declare that you're starting a business blah blah blah.
PM me if you need help setting anything up,

You need to buy a dedicated server to host minecraft servers and a website on the same place. Note websites don't use much RAM so it is ok to host both off the same machine.
That is not to have a server hosted. It is to sell servers to people. Stop attempting to confuse the poster.
He wants to host servers not sell them. Stop attempting to confuse the posters.
Webservers -dotvps.co/reseller-hosting.php
Minecraft Servers- Keep in mind this gives you 5GB of RAM for 50$ a month. Thats only 5 servers you can sell with 1GB of ram a peice. http://minecraftreseller.com/?page_id=329
BTW z645 has no idea what hes talking about. Many companies allow you to purchase servers that you can RESELL to your customers. He must not be aware of that.

He's not asking for server hosts. He's asking for How to run a Server Hosting Company. Read it properly.
I did, and I assumed he didn't have $3k lying around like you, and I gave him helpful useful advice.
Still. It ends up being he doesn't want a server hosted. He wants to know how to host a server. So lets end this conversation so his topic isn't being spammed.
Actually. Takes more then what TechCraft said. You need to buy Quality servers. Usually about $500USD to $1000USD (Each)
And you need 1Gb/s Internet.
Racks for your servers.
And many more things, takes a lot of work to do.

For Servers -Find a minecraft Reseller account, They are often very pricey, and require you to make sales each month to pay the bill.
