I only have a small overview of how to set things up. Hope this may be
of some help.
Suppose all you have now is
a) a Domain Name
b) say 'n' public IPs
Now you need to map your domain name to one or more public IPs. I
believe this can be done at the Vendor's control panel. Once you have
www.yourname.com mapped to A.B.C.D , you can run a webserver at
A.B.C.D, which will be available in the internet as www.yourname.com
I don't think you may need more than one IP. (I'm not 100% sure, Let's
wait for someone working in an ISP:) If you have multiple IPs, you can
go for multiple servers with or without load balancing .
Of course you can sell space for retail hosting. Suppose a client buys
some space from you. He has www.hisname.com as his domain just like you
have www.yourname.com in the previous example. Now he'll have to update
his control panel so that www.hisname.com points to your public IP (s).
Now you have to enable virtual hosting in your webserver at A.B.C.D to
accommodate www.hisname.com and setup document root for his site.
All this means that www.yourname.com and www.hisname.com points to
the same IP - OR the saem machine. On the machine you have a webserver
with virtual hosting enabled - thereby having seperate document
root/options for individual domain names
The setup involves
a) knowledge of DNS configuration (basics)
b) knowledge of Webserver configuration - virtual hosting
c) knowledge of e-mail systems, if you ever plan to provide
email-support for your clients
d) thorough sense of webserver performance and security - firewalls,
service monitoring etc,
Please google OR ask specific questions from above areas, so that we'll
be able to help you with specific doubts. The setup tutorials can be
found at tldp.org guides for network administration. "Linux
Administration Handbook" by Evi Nemeth et. al. is the right book for
you, I swear.
I'm sorry that I cannot help you with financial aspects.
