I would use full words as it makes you look more professional, I wouldn't use words like "shizm" and I'd learn a hell of a lot more than a little, I'd also definitely, 100% get rid of all warez websites that I'd have owned.
 
Wouldn't bother. You'll just get some kid with problems and then call you a scammer later when you take more than 4-5 hours to reply to a support ticket all because he spent $3 for a month and expects the speed and reliability of EC2 (EC2 is Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud which is a server infrastructure that powers some of the worlds biggest websites like Foursquare, Springpad, Reddit, Quora etc). Yes this amazingly is what the members of WJ expect for $3 - $5 for an offshore host.
 
Mr Happy is correct, albeit I have some awesome clients that are really understanding but some people react differently. You will need somewhat good interpersonal skills.

The other day I upgraded my server and I spent around 16 hours on my computer, I was awake for 25 hours without any sleep and then when someone gives you a lot of attitude when you are extremely hungry, extremely boring, extremely tired it can be difficult to keep up your professionalism. The reason I am a host is because I absolutely love it despite it being extremely hectic and tiresome at times.
 
Hmm yea Sp, I get your drift m8 and I agree it can be hard sometimes to keep proffessional, it's near same on my DDL, when they can't submit they start with emaíls,fix this, why this etc. But like you I enjoy it.
 
Ty m8, I am 97% sure to try the host game, 3% doubts if i can keep the $$ incoming for server bills.

Cpanel + WHMCS = 30$ + Vps= $$ monthly.......
 
I'd say give it a shot, but make sure you can keep it up. Make sure in it for the long run, because I'm sure you don't want yourself or host being known for constant downtime and shitty support.

My tip is to be affordable but not too cheap. So that atleast those who are looking for $3-5 hosting wont look towards you. But you can start off with $6 is my advice.

Let's get real. $6 is a fairly good price for premium shared hosting. Who would pay $6 for hosting on a VPS? Nobody.
