There are four aspects to consider when starting a self-host:

1) hardware and software.

2) Bed on a server.

3) Transfer of bandwidth.

4) Mail Server.

Familiarity with the latest software and hardware platforms:

It is very important to become familiar with hardware and software must be installed on servers. For example, when IIS with Windows 2003 Server is something we must be very familiar, so we will be hosting sites on a Windows server. In terms of Linux is a bit more complicated. A solid understanding and knowledge SSH (Secure Shell Security) is required. Then a strong background in Telnet command, then the networking of knowledge and security side, such as routing, firewall (IPS, IDS), antivirus.

Software:

Web server: IIS for Windows 2003, Apache for Linux.
Database: MSSQL to Win 2003 Server, MySQL for Linux.
Software control-panel is a strong need to manage your hosting space like Cpanel, Plesk, Ensim offers a program called Web Host Manager.
Billing Software - Ita is very necessary to have a billing software installed on your web hosting, so that Our customers can place their order and renew in time. Some scripts are popular billing accounts, ModernBill, ClientExec, Whmautopilot, etc.
Gateway Payment - to accept online payments is essential for any hosting company. need to sign up for a merchant account to accept payments online. Some of these are popular payment gateways 2checkout, Ccavenue, Authorise.net, WorldPay, etc.

Purchases of servers (placement) or location server (dedicated)

Office / Data Center Space

after purchase of servers, we will need office space or a data center to house these servers. If we choose in our office space, the need to feed 100 Mbps bandwidth independent suppliers of high bandwidth. Some companies that offer bandwidth are Verio.com, and cheaper Cogentco.com Twtelecom.com bandwidth that can be used. Otherwise, to accommodate our servers in data centers. The data center also offers two types of service

1) Placement is used in the meaning of the provision space for telecommunications, customer or supplier of computer equipment in the premises of the service. For example, a landlord a Web site can place their own servers on site facilities of Internet service provider (ISP). Or an ISP could place its network routers at the premises of the company that provides services maneuvering with other ISPs. Companies often put on your team with a service provider to take advantage of the availability of higher bandwidth and backup power.

2) dedicated server, companies such as services Eservers.biz, Rackspace.com, not only for Cyberworldservers.com name a few. Each of these companies you can rent a server connection, establish a specific amount of bandwidth, and you will receive your client websites on the server in the lease.

Note:

Running from Home: Although we have more control over our servers, keeping them in our garage is really not recommended, unless we can ensure, among other things: uninterrupted power, climate control, security, and decent network connection.

Colocation: Your hardware is maintained in a data center where you can access 24 / 7 physical and data center is limited to establish the electrical connection and faster Internet. The benefits are very flexible, you can build your own servers and how the network is set up, simple configuration of a private network or firewall offers total freedom on the hardware and cons are expensive, you are responsible for repairing your own equipment (and replacement)

Dedicated: whether to rent: The server Data owns and rents equipment for us. The advantages are that it is responsible for the equipment, issues of security software, faster repair times in case of hardware failure. The disadvantages that depend on Web Host Provider, if available transfer of data is exceeded, a financial penalty is assessed.

Bandwidth Transfer:

Bandwidth is the amount of data transfer allowed to have a hosting package.
For example,
Web Page Size: 48 KB
Number of users who viewed the Web page 100 per day
Total data transferred: 48KB * 100 = 4800 KB per day
Total amount of bandwidth required: 4800kb * 30 = 144000KB (144 MB) per month
Bandwidth is the term used to indicate the amount of data that have been transferred from your web space.
The amount of bandwidth they need, while the choice of a host depends on two factors:
> The size of your site.
> The popularity of your site.
We hose who prefer to have limited bandwidth, such as 10-100 GB (measured) during the first movement and unrestricted (not measured).
E-system Email:
Thing to consider on the mail server

Perfect setting 1) e-mail virus filtering and protection against spam.

2) Linux Mail Server: Unlimited mailbox inbox and unlimited storage, an integrated antivirus, antispam and firewall, a lifetime license, software Free.

3) Windows Server: MS Exchange server / 3 party system Courier-must purchase a separate license anti-virus, anti-spam and firewall.
