Exactly. Don't expect to step in, do very little work and make a large sum of money right out of the box. It's perfectly common for some hosts not to break even through the first year, so it's far from the 'get rich quick' stereotype that everyone seems to label on the industry. I suppose this false impression was given by those that start companies offering unlimited this, or GBs of that for next to nothing.

All I am saying in the end, is be prepared to work hard. Don't look into the business if you're just planning to pocket a little money on the side.

Wasn't planning on it to be honest. Mostly I want to use it to offer my website clients a place tied in with my business. That way they can get a deal on everything in one package and I'll have a better time keeping everything updated and functioning smoothly in onw place. Random extra hostings would be the icing on the cake but I'm not really counting on those.

Well, I didn't intend to scare you away or anything. In fact, I look forward to possibly a little competition eventually.

From what I can see you understand it's going to be work, and are adding it on to extend your existing service, so things should go well for you. I'd definitely advise staying around a forum such as HR has here and learning from some of the experts here.
