Do you actually have any knowledge of running gameservers / web hosting.
Mysql is a pain in the ass and 1 server to host vent is overkill considering most your vent customers will be buying gameservers anyway. Any kind of detail on the spec of the servers. To make a go at this id go colo buy your own machines and go in big by renting a rack. Ud need about 5-10k to make a proper buisiness by my estimates. add in a 1 month advertising campaign and it doesnt look so promising also the market is totally saturated apart from maybee ultra high end servers for which you could charge a premium.
In other words unless you can get a fully automated system from order to payment to delivery you will not get enough customers in my opinion. This means getting a very very good website which will cost a fortune or take a while to make.
