Okay As you can see it would be called BoltHosting and What Would I do like please do like steps in order of what to do. Also If you can tell me how to install A Control Panel On the Servers
If you don't know what to do or how to install a control panel I would recommend not trying to start a company. Plus you'll need a couple hundred dollars for your first month.
Well I am working on the control panel Like right now I am testing McMyAdmin
As mikeambrose3 has pointed out, if you don't know what steps to take then it's probably a better idea to not start one yourself, plus it costs so much money and it's a hard market to get into. It's very competitive, can you compete? Have you considered to join one and see how it all goes together?
I can Compete alot and to join one Not really I have ran a Server my self with a Control Panel So I am very aware of how to use them
I would look into the back end systems before you dive into deep water, as if you do not or you do not know anyone that knows the back end for the networking, firewalls, and the Shell Access for Linux it will be hard to get off the ground. Although the panels do a lot for you now and it is easy to manage the server using them, when the panel brakes or the junk hits the fan then you will want a back-end user. But other than that good luck, and hope to see you advertising on here soon
- Zack (Below is a very short list of what you will need to do btw)

1.a. Get a Game Plan on how to do all of this!
2. Get the Domain and Website Ordered
3. Buy a Dedicated Server or equivalent
4. Buy Panels for the end user to use
5. Set all of the above to work together
6. Trouble shoot and test all systems
7. Start Accepting Orders

If you have anymore Ideas I would be happy to hear them!
If there is anything else I should know too just post
Here's a handy dandy checklist. Answer each question with yes or no, and be honest about it.
You have at least three months of liquid operating capital; this means your bank account has an amount of money in it that will cover 3 months of your expenses. Server, site design, and your own salary: [Yes/No]
You have experience administrating the OS of your choice [Yes/No]
You have experience with your chosen billing platform of choice [Yes/No]
You have accepted that you may be called out of your bed at 3am because one of your servers just turned into a smoking crater in the ground [Yes/No]
You have accepted that you will not have a 9-5 job, you will instead spend the next half year working 14+ hour days, 7 days a week [Yes/No]
You are willing to risk that 3 months of liquid operating capital [Yes/No]
Answer any of those with a 'No' or 'maybe', and you're better off not doing it. Hosting ain't easy, it may look like it, but what you see as a customer is the tip of the iceberg. There's a lot more to it than slapping cPanel up on a dedicated server and calling yourself a host.
Looking for a friendly community? Look no further, and join the BlockStackers! We run a Vanilla whitelisted server, a Feed The Beast server, and a Survival server with some twists.

You'd do better than to keep it in mind; the fact your response it "meh, I'll keep it in mind" just shows that the advice that people have been giving you in this thread has gone in one ear and out the other.
Fact: most new hosts fold in their first month.
If you don't want to become a statistic, start asking smarter questions, and start listening to what people are trying to tell you. If you don't, can't, or won't, then I don't see a bright future for you.

Just some random person smelling a free minecraft server in his future... they're like sharks when there's a drop of blood in the water...

I very Very Much agree with you. im running a hosting company (Which has been up for 1 yr now) and its difficult. Actually in some cases extremely hard. But we have pushed through it all and semi succeeded.
And BoltHosting, Those questions that Xirian Gave you are actually Quite useful, you would do well to read it thouroughly and answer them. Even if you answer no to one of them there is always going to be a time where you CAN do the hosting.
And How old are you?? being mature is always important when it come to hosting for example i also own the company DustySites in which you can buy Web Hosting and vps etc DustySites.com
One other Vital Question you Have to ask yourself is "Am i Mature enough to do this?"
