Among other things, make sure you get a good enough hosting package.

I’d recommend starting with a Virtual Private Server and then upgrading to a dedicated server once your business grows enough to warrant it.

There’s a good review of VPS providers at http://www.unlimitedhostland.com

Go to http://www.score.org/index.html and in the upper left hand corner, enter your zip code. On the next screen, you will get information in the nearest SCORE chapter. Call them and arrange for a free meeting with a SCORE counselor to discuss starting your game hosting company.

To get started you should look to server farms like idlogic or hostgator.

That will get you up on the web. But now you need to think about your business model? How are you going to charge? What games do you have? Why would someone give you money vs some of the other options.

Just a few thoughts.
