You just need a lot of time and some kind of means of giving them space and bandwidth.

How are you planning to host sites? Going to colocate servers, lease dedicated servers, purchase high speed connectivity to your location?

If you intend to provide a good service, you will need a bit of capital to start.

The best way to do it is to start off with a reseller then move on up to a dedicated server.

[LP-Trel]

hotrod1 is on the right track with a reseller account to start.

This will allow you to keep your costs low and still provide a good service as you begin to grow.

You will need to install a server OS, Linux is the best choice and also install PHP, mySQL and associated services if you intend to offer them. I don't think that running a free web host of your home connection is a very good idea though due to both bandwidth and reliability limitations.
