Local Business Cold Calls
This a great way to get started with little to no knowledge of hosting, all you really need to know for this is mainly the basics. Most Small Business have no IT department, most don't even have an IT guy. Most small business are happy with a small static 5 page website that displays what there business is about. They are happy just knowing that they are now advertising to the web. A good way to get started in finding companies to cold call is to grab a local newspaper and browse through the business classifieds. Call business's you think would benefit from having a website. The great thing about these type of clients is that they do not require a lot, they usually have no problem paying the small hosting fee, and they do not eat up your server or Reseller account resources.
I think you'll have more immediate success in your local market if you focus on NEW businesses. Most of these have no website and have no clue about hosting.
