You know you are talking about a huge investment? Do you know Linux? You know that you need to have a firm for legal issues? Before you are asking anything else, solve this above if not done so already. Hope this helps.
You would be better off reselling from shared hosting or even a cPanel server with the money you would buy a computer with. If you have problems, you will have problems with your customers.
If it's just for your own project then I guess you can rent a dedicated server with some company, or even just a VPS (virtual private server). There's a lot of companies that rent/sell this services. Just google it with terms I wrote. As for your own hosting company housed in your home/business location, that would involve a lot of steps. 1. Getting a good link (good in both up/down). Depending on your project needs the link may be anywhere from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, or even more if your project is really big and link consuming. 2. Getting a dedicated ip address or a whole block of Ip's for your needs. (at least 2 if you wish to run your own DNS servers) 3. Buying a server hardware, which again depends on your project needs. 4. Configuring everything, and installing appropriate linux/windows server versions with all needed services. and of course... 5. legal procedures, that depend on the country where you are located in. I guess some kind of UPS system is also needed to maintain power availability to your server at all times.
You should first decide what platform you will use, Linux or Windows, and what type hosting service you will offer: shared, VPS, dedicated, video, backups ...etc.
i am going for devlope windows base server...i am not seling any hosting service. i am from india what legal procedures, i need for this?
Im not from India so I cant help with the legal stuff but for the server you will need windows server. You will also need SQL Server express edition if want a database server, which can be downloaded for free from microsoft.com. And microsoft's web server is called IIS and it is included with windows.
XAMP gives you Apache, MySQL and PHP which are the basics you need to host a project on your own system
1. Your English needs to be top-notch. 2. You can't run webhosting locally on your PC lol. 3. You need to do some research before asking these questions. 4. You need to get some deals from datacenters. 5. You need a good amount of cash to start. 6. You need to start everything legally.
