I've considered starting up a hosting comapny in past and while I think I would find ways to find clients. I counted on about 200 to make a reasonable profit. I decided against it. While it's a extremely competitive market it's also a very demanding one.

You need to provide 24/7 support and that means no vacations, no free time as problems can arise anytime and I just don't feel comfortable doing that.

That's why I've decided to jump into making affialiate sites as once you've made them they don't require that much time to invest in them afterwards and you can make more sites. More sites mean more money
