That also depends on what he is wishing to host, rather that be minecraft, websites, or other games.Should be enough
Depending on all your locations, all licenses and stuff you're looking at $250 monthly.

Adding onto this, most hosts from mcm charge $2-$3/gb, so if you plan to advertise Minecraft hosting here you shouldn't go much higher than that, and don't start with expensive machines that are going to force you to be overpriced so you can profit.Advice #1: Don't do it. there are to many hosts out there.
Advice #2: come up with a good, uniq and easy name (not Minecraft related if you would like to expand someday to other kind of hosting)
Advice #3: I recommend host in America to begin with.
Advice #4: Not to expensive
Advice #5: Have fun i guessGL
Some host use their own hardware, but if you want to jump into the market you would probably want to start reselling (using other provider's servers).How would I host tho? Reselling or owning my own hardware.
If you have 10-15k to spend, buy the hardware now, and colocate. Costs a lot now, but would be worth it in the long run.How would I host tho? Reselling or owning my own hardware.
Is that 10-15k a month or just for one time?10-15k
Tip #4: Don't follow the advice of someone that gets hardware and software mixed up.Tip #1 (Hosting): Starting off, use OVH and resell their software.
Tip #2: Be prepared to make little to no money for the first six months at a minimum of 250$/MO
Tip #3: Hire a developer to build your site and set up everything unless you can set it up yourself
