One of suggestion would be to have 24*7 services. Because that's one of basic need of every customer.

Complementing this nice advice:

One of suggestion would be to have 24*7 services. Because that's one of the basic need of every customer.

Make sure you get more staff ready than what you think you might need, so even if you get a giant rush you still can deal with the customer's queries.

Don't make a package that you might regret, make sure that what you offer is something you can keep offering to the people that take it. No one likes being taken away the things that convinced us to give you a fair shot.
I think it would also be appreciated if you didn't use vague or tricky language for your promotions like "unlimited" "lifetime" and the like, by experience many of us are wary of such terms.

Good luck with your project.

I think that is good idea to have the start with dedicated server. I have seen some good managed unmetered servers from hostunmetered.net. You can consider them for this

First of all to become the best web hosting provider then you should treat your customers well by providing them effective 24*7 customer service & maintain the technical kinds of stuff properly to not generate any problem regarding server problem & results into the downtime of client's website. You also have to provide efficient features as per you charged from your clients.

Any time you start you will need to have good reseller account. Not every company today can provide really good and stable accounts. But you still can check rockhoster.com or eyhost.biz.

Choose a good data center and provider to start your business, make a social media promotion full plan for targeted country's visitors, also set a budget to promote your site.

(Try to start with a reseller hosting if you don't have enough customers at the start)
