Can I make my own web hosting company?

If I buy servers and have people pay to use a percentage of the space on it?





Is it risky? How can I do it?

yes, you can do it. But may I warn you. it's risky, and does not pay.





YouTube, PhotoBucket, Myspace, Google Video, torrent, rapidshare have in effect killed the need to buy bandwidth anymore.





I have personal experience and can assure you unless you know what you're doing, you're going to lose money and waste time. I can even point you better places to start with less investment and less risk if you need to see to believe.

There is a huge amount of risk involved. You're only thinking about buying the servers, which are not that expensive. You need to add in the connection to the internet, most likely a T1 line from the phone company. That line is incredibly expensive, based on where you are located in regards to the closest central office from the phone company.





It would be much better to resell someone else's service, see that you have enough customers buying your hosting services, and then spend the money on the necessary hardware/services to make you the "real" hosting provider.





Just my 2 cents.
