Starting a Web Hosting Business from Scratch - Not Reseller

[Suds]

Hello,

Does anyone have experience in starting/ running a web hosting business? I have an elegant solution to a persistent problem I have seen. But it requires that I own the servers and deploy my solutions on it. It might be easier to use AWS or another cloud service but it might cost a lot.

This is going to serve a very narrow market segment, so I do not want to buy an existing business. I would need to start from scratch.

If you could offer any advice I would be highly obliged.

Thanks,
Suds
