Hi Terrance,
I think developing and hosting are two very different kind of services. In developing, you don't have to worry about availability, security and continuity of a lot of things implied on hosting. This aspects require you to plan and deploy a support structure and give it some attention.
So, if you are starting, I would say don't get into hosting. It's something you could evaluate 2-3 years in the future.
Saludos,
