  Old  i'd like to start a hosting website plz help

Hi
I'm planning to start a new hostingwebsite.
The packages won't be really expenisve, and it will be in 3 languages : english, dutch and maybe even french
Here in belgium hosts are much more expensive so i was thinking to buy a dedicated server somewhere not to expensive but fast enough and where i don't have to pay to much for te bandwidth.
BUt i don't really know where i could get one ?
Is there a really good site, good quality ?
And how do i manage it ?
Is there a program i can buy so i can make several ftp accounts on the server, where i can chose the bandwidth and space ?
And about the payment, how do i do that ?
And is there somthing i forget ?
Please help me out here :P

and what do you guys think of the concept ?
Thansk alot

You should start out on a resller account, if you start by paying $250+ a month for your own box you will be losing a lot of money.

You add accounts via WHM (web hosting manager).

Most places which offer reseller accounts accept paypal.

Unless your highly experianced I wouldn't reccomend anyone to start a new webhosting company. There is just too much competition thats it's usually not worth the time, money and hassle to even start it especially if you don't know what your doing (there are already enough clueless people running hosting "compaines" as it is)

Just my opinion on the matter

You're not nearly experienced enough to run your own hosting business. It's that simple. if you don't know what WHM is, people shouldn't be trusting you with their sites.

No, you might as well not. It's a much bigger responsibility than you think it is.
