A lot of companies resell hosting now, where you pay a monthly fee for example, $49 monthly, and you have so much space and bandwidth. Then you can turn around, and a resell the hosting accounts to your members at any price you wish.
For example, you can charge your members, $15 monthly for web hosting and have for example, 20 of them. Your cost would be $49, you would be bringing in $300 monthly from these 20 accounts alone.
You can make money at Web hosting, but I believe the market is oversaturated right now.
As far as web design goes, that will probably be expensive, unless you were doing it on your own.
Go to www.yahoo.com and search for: resell Web hosting

You can host others websites and data for very low startup costs.
All you need is a server.
You can purchase a server through dell, they start at $500 with OS, or you can modify a regular PC to a server. You can download FREEBSD and install PHP and MYSQL for free.
As long as you don t have 100 people wanting your services right away, you can do just fine with a small system until it grows.

It is better to just buy domain names and sell them to consumers and offer to build the website for them or advertise yourself as a web designer and have the consumer pay for the domain name and your services. You would need a very fast internet connection ( big sattelite, few t1/t3 lines, some servers, switches, etc ) to really host your own web server..
