I'd prefer to just start reading threads about other GPS's on these forums, so you'll get an idea of what you're about to start.
A website isn't a bad idea, if you can design/code it yourself it would be perfect for you.
If you wanna start selling them, it's a good idea to get costumers. Also, havin' cheap servers and their quality should be good.

Keep in mind that selling servers requires that you create a company.
You would also need to colo all your server in data centers. It's not a simple or easy way to make money. Rather, it's very expensive and risky.

Indeed. And is very time consuming.

You will be able to get a designer and coder for your website. (Paying him/her).
As Mooga said, it's risky!
