>I would like to start a small web hosting site. Can anyone give me some direction on what i should look out.

Look at, is it hardware , software, Bandwidth issues. or all of the above.?

You mentioned that you wanted to host a small database, like a database application. You could do that without any hardware. Many isp's host database's in addition to hosting web sites, and email servers etc.

Or do you want the expierence of hosting your own to know what it takes.

Glad to help, if I can. for my company I host 12 sites, with 4 database servers, (different platforms) etc. it all can be done.
