How do I become a webhost?

[JamieMiller]

Ok, so there is this local guy, a few years older than me. He is making money by making and maintaining websites for clients.

I am fairly smart and could easily do this providing I knew how. What software would I need to use to develop websites and who and where would I register my domain. How do I become a webhost?

Cheers for your support guys

To become a webhost I would learn a lot more before attempting such a task. Most webhosts flop, anyone and everyone can webhost really so it's flooded with tons of people like you and me trying to make a quick buck out of webhosting.

Well, any serious client would pay for a professional service than go to a free one, if of course the prices are good and the hosting is reliable.
