Reseller hosting would be your best bet. It would allow you to use enterprise grade servers and still maintain everything by yourself. Some hosts also offer you free billing platforms so your cost could be as low as around $20.00/month for everything and then you can grow from there.

You can begin with reseller hosting. It does not require any investments. All you need is to become a partner with one of the hosting providers and begin working as their reseller. Some of the companies even let their resellers sell their hosting plans in the resellers’ brand names and offer great commissions.

I'm trying to get into server hosting in the near future when I turn 16 and start working. I'm planning to invest my own money into starting it and when I have enough money to buy a physical server or rent a microsoft one. Which would be better and how much money should I start with? I'm looking into hosting Websites/Games/Data Servers. I'm going to make it into a full scale company when I am older and get it going. Do any of you have advice/recommendations?

On a side note I'd like to say that Yahoo Answers is the best place to find what you need answered. It's full of mature, smart, helpful people
