Hi there Hostxtreem and welcome to HD as many others have said. I'm with Hostleet in saying that the sky is the limit as far as any business goes and certainly age shouldn't be an impeding factor in any industry, as there are prime examples of this both in the hosting industry and others (The Junior Apprentice - £48/k profit in one day being an example) of sucsessfull teens.

The issue with both younger entrants as well as to older entrants into any field of business is that of specialised industry incite and knowledge, strategic alliances (partnering with other providers in a way that reduces a competitive force or aides a comparative strategy ) and importantly funding, there are many mistakes to be made and some are somewhat essential however they can be somewhat an inhibiting factor with limited funding.

All that said, I know of two providers (one personally) that were started by those of the ages of 14/15 the fact of this is a closely guarded secret of each provider, however one achieved a monthly turnover of £38k/mo before hitting a "snag". The other didn't unfortunately make it past the first hurdle.

My advice would be to ask as many questions as humanly possible, read as much information as you can and set out a detailed plan, without this you will lose track of things within a market which in frank is very dynamic.
