Web Hosting Guide – Dedicated IP or Shared IP
An IP address is a 32-bit numeric address usually expressed as 4 numbers from 0-255 separated by dots, for example 192.168.0.123. Each computer connected to the Internet is assigned a unique IP Address for the purposes of communication. There are billions of addresses possible, however, the number is finite.
In the Web hosting industry there are two types of IP address:
Shared IP address means that multiple websites share the same address. Web servers can determine by the domain entered in a user’s browser which website is being requested. Typing in the IP address will bring you to some kind of generic page instead of the specific site you want.
Who Needs a Dedicated IP Address
Generally, having a website on a shared IP address will not cause you any harm. However, there are a few cases when a dedicated IP is required:
Dedicated IP and Search Engines
There are some well-known debate in SEO industry about whether we need to provide a dedicated IP for your web site, and part of them is true before but not right now, and part of them are still applicable now.
Conclusion
According to the discussion above, in most cases, you won’t need a dedicated IP. But it will be required if you want to have some sort of special access to your web site, like SSL or Anonymous FTP. And for almost all the e-Commerce web site which need to accept Credit Card online, dedicated IP is required.
The cost of dedicated IP is very low, it won’t cause you more than $2 per month and you can go for it if you want. Here, I would like to recommend a very good web hosting company which will offer dedicated IP with no extra fee. It’s IX Web Hosting. IX Web Hosting is one of my favorite web hosting companies since in it’s web hosting plan, you will only find the items required for hosting. It doesn’t like some other companies which put a lot of items which you might never use in the web hosting plan. It’s just hosting.

The short answer is that you shouldn't run web hosting out of your house. Even with significant upgrades to your setup, you likely will lack the infrastructure to adequately provide for any significant amount of website traffic. And if you are having to ask here how to set one up, then you almost certainly will not have the tools to properly maintain and support it.
A better bet is to become a reseller for an existing host, like GoDaddy — http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/wwd_landing.asp.You can make money, handle clients, and offer a lot more than you'd be able to putting it together yourself. And if there's a technical issue, you have a resource to use instead of being on your own.
If you want something more hands-on, you can rent a server from a place like The Planet — http://www.theplanet.com/ — that provides you a server to host on with an admin system like Plesk that is more hands-on as far as setting up accounts and sites, but is pretty simple to use and ensures your hosted sites have proper bandwidth available, site backups, power redundancy and other features a proper web host should have.

Lol, well then according to OVH’s terms of service you should be paying more!
My discussions with them they said i would have to move up to a premium traffic plan if i use in excess of the 5TB range….
Also… if you look at my calculations above the connection will only allow a max of just over 1TB a day… :p
And OVH provide 100mbps per CLIENT not per server unless you pay more.

My wife and I are building a website for our business through a program that is available online. This program shows you what is being searched by the masses and tells you what keywords you should use to gain ranking in the search engines. This program allows you to plug in any type of website that you wish to design and will help you step by step on how to build it right so you can get rankings above your competitors. I would be happy to give you more information about this program if you would like to email me at robertbreitling@yahoo.com or if you would like to read more about it you can in my Yahoo Answers Profile page. I hope that this helps.
BEST WISHES!

It is always a bad idea to start a business you know nothing about. You better do some research first.
Here are a couple of books from Amazon.com that you should read to start getting up to speed:

For a total virgin, Dreamweaver would be going into a one-way dead end street. Once able to do something in DW, you will end-up against a wall, not able to go any further. Since you would have spent so much time learning DW, you would not have ANY experience in coding.
Dead.
Sell your copy of DW.
With the money you get:
Buy Photoshop.
Download Notepad++ (free): this will be your editor, and nothing else).
Buy a domain name and rent a LAMP server (with Php and mysql, and NO windows) Should cost you less than 70$/year.
Armed with Photoshop, learn how to make nice images.
Armed with your new site, visit w3schools.com and start learning HTML. (1 week for the basics)
Make a few static pages.
Continue by learning javascript (add a few gadgets to your site, in javascript). (1 week for a few bits)
Continue learning php (a few weeks for the basics)
Continue learning mysql. (a week for the basics),
Grab "free scripts" from the web, but NOT too complicated, and learn "by example". A good source of simple scripts at http://www.web2coders.com (free).
Within two months, you will be well on your way to become proficient!
Good luck!
(And you can always come back here and ask me questions: I help coders who make an effort, but not Dreamweaver users…)

If you intend to create a few websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website), go for multiple web hosting where you could handle your websites in one account.
I suggest following webhosting , they are quite good.
Hostmonster http://www.anurl.com/?PQMRY
They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 200000 MB (200 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.
Visit the site to check details.

Domains
Following site is quite good to register domains as price is reasonable with free privacy. Some charge about $5/ year just for free privacy.

theres no such thing as Unlimited bandwidth
#12 by psychic on February 5th, 2010
Wrong Unmetered But NOT unlimited
Example u have unmeter bdwidth on dedi server with 100Mbit port MAX transfer u get
100Mbit = 12.5MB
which is 1.029968TB day max a month thats a max of almost 31TB Which is a lot, but NOT unlimited.
Also bare in mind ALL datacentres have caps on unmetered servers so if you are using say
5TB transfer they will ship you to a high rate or ask to pay x / hundred GB
Note im a host i know what i do and so do the larger companies which i
work with
