Lmao you were requesting a large plugin made for $5 with resell rights if you paid an additional $7.50 then were asking for free stuff because "our server is poor".
No offense but how do you plan on doing this? But just so my post isn't completely trash you'll need atleast $800. and buy reseller hosting from somewhere that sells it. And depends on what you wanna host, webhosting you could honestly start that up cheap as fuck. Dedicated Servers and VPS nodes. mmm thats alot of investment

If you want to be successful you need $1000+. You need to buy a server or rent one and resell, you need to buy whmcs, ssl certificate, website/domain, multicraft etc. and dont expect to make earnings in first two-three months

You need to not be ask these questions - because it proves you shouldn't be starting a hosting company.

Aim for $1,500 or so for your first month and maybe $400-600 for the following few months.

All of these people are correct.
Starting a hosting company costs a lot.
Although if you want to resell OVSUS dedicated servers, you can contact our support.
Custom deals with coupons are created for resellers.
So as soon as you get some money, give me a message.
so resell the dedicated that u resell from webtropia ? lul

Nuker2016 if u want to resell dedicated servers or rent some cheap dedi servers to ur hosting company here are some good ones, Hetzner used by nolag.host | webtropia used by OVSUS and like 2 small hosting company more | Contabo used by ovsus ssd vps thing but u can get some nice and cheap dedis there too

There are a lot of starting costs to starting a hosting company. It takes a lot of time, money and effort. If you want to create a hosting company to have another source of income, I wouldn't start one for two reasons: 1. You won't make your investments back for 6 months to a year. 2. Doing it just for money is a bad reason to create one, you won't care about clients, you won't care about uptime, you won't care about quality. Starting costs for a company include: dedicated servers, domains, ssl certificates, licenses, logo designs, thread designs, licenses, ddos protection, addition IP's etc. Then for the following months you would need to renew license fees, dedicated servers, hosting payments etc. Licenses could be the most expensive that you pay for, for example, we pay ~$200 per month in license fees alone. That cost could rent a good dedicated server to put more clients on. There's a whole lot of budgeting that you have to do in order to keep things running smoothly. There's a lot more than just this, you have to ensure your IP's don't get blacklisted, block spam, update servers, optimize servers for speed, keep track of high-resource using clients, etc. It is not as simple as it all seems. I would start with some reseller options before you decide to go dive deep.

Now for some advertisement---> We offer some reseller web hosting options from our website. Our $20 plan is our most popular as it includes a branded WHMCS license. Plan also comes with:

100GB SSD Space
Unlimited Bandwidth
Unlimited cPanel Accounts
Whitelabel servers
Softaculous Installer
Let's Encrypt SSL
Global DNS Servers
Dedicated IP Address

Good luck with your endeavours!

That would probably only be ideal if you had a network with a playerbase.

If I were you, I would save money & go with a shared host. Then once you get players you can host your own servers & do it correctly with a larger budget.
