Hello guys
I know when you will read my thread title you will thought that I"m a fool that for asking how to open a web hosting company. Many of you guys will suggest me to buy reseller hosting. I know I can open a small hosting company by using any reseller hosting. But I don't want to do that. I mean I want to open a hosting company without buying any reseller hosting. Is it possible ? if yes than please suggest me about this....

Hello, from what I have seen you need to do a bit more research reselling is a very good way to start providing web hosting as it can work cheaper if you do the maths - Also have you thought about issues such as starting capital?
 
Buy a VPS. Get cPanel license. Secure/Configure your VPS.

Buy a domain name, a template & install WHMCS (licensed ofcourse) on it.

You're ready to go.

Good luck.
 
Stay away from the shared hosting market and find a better proposition. There is no more business here or you should offer your services at loss leader pricing to gain market share.
 
It's always more profitable to start off with a reseller account first, at least until you get your initial customer base. If you want to start right off with servers, I would highly recommend using SoYouStart or OVH. They are owned by the same company and profit excellent servers to use.

If you go linux route, go CentOS and Cpanel. Get a billing center such as WHMCS(the best in my opinion) and set it up per the documentation and you will be ready to go!

Going with reseller host is a waste of money first 1gb to 5gb ddos attack your host will be no more since you can not add ddos protection to the servers. I suggest getting a few VPS from Networkarry and use them from shared hosting

Go with OpenVZ get 3 of them

4gb ram
300gb
3tb space
2gbps connection

$30

You could run 50 to 100 sites on these 3 server also go with CloudLayar - Website Security | Malware Protection | DDOS Protection | Bot Protection free plan it is better than cloudflare with 3 to 5 times more security
 
Thanks to you all guys for your valuable suggestions. I have domain and also have WHMCS. Now can you guys suggest me where I can buy VPS/OpenVZ + cPanel License and also how much it will cost for monthly/lifetime ???

Thanks
