Speaking from our experience ONLY...these are my views:
Hosting has its ups and downs, just like any other business.
Ive found that with online business, it is VITAL to provide the best customer service thats possible...support runs a fast second behind SERVICE! SO many people get into the hosting biz to try to make a fast buck...it just doesnt work that way. If you are sincere and really focused, continue to work hard, have a 24 hour flexible schedule, it can be done.
Be prepared for slow months....it can/will balance out.
As far as the really low cost hosting thats out there....I try to refrain from commenting on plans, etc. since I am a host too...but I will just say, EVERYTHING has to be factored into your business.
For us, our goal is to provide DECENT hosting, but there is a cost involved----The HOST has bills, committments, as well.
Just my 2cents....good luck!!
