    Hi. 
    I help with a GH company. My two cents is that you need to have the time, effort and money to put in to it.
    Panel wise, you've got 2 options really; TCAdmin and Pterodactyl.io
    Pterodactyl is well worth it in my eyes, and it's what we use, but you require more skill to get it setup as you have to write custom scripts for games and so on and so forth. Additionally, Pterodactyl doesn't include a mod manager or FastDL if any of them were requirements. You can develop these and there are many developers who would be willing to do that if you paid.
    Also, there is a discord for support where many people will help you out.
     
    TCAdmin has most of the features listed above, but has awful Linux support, crashes every second of it's lifetime and is a complete and utter shambles. TCA support isn't awful, but you will probably end up with a janky version of TCA from all of the fixes they push for your specific installation. TLDR; TCA is not worth it if you can put the time into Pterodactyl.
     
    Additionally, you need a selling point, something that sets you away from the crowd. Pterodactyl isn't the popular option at the moment, but it is the best and most stable I've seen, so it is a good selling point. Don't cheap out on prices, but offer a good price correlating to your service quality.
    Imo, too many companies are being run by inexperienced people during holidays. I've known people who didn't even know how to setup either of the two options above, and others who didn't even know how to use basic commands in most linux distros. 

    Tag me if you want anything else answered

    PS: Run the panel, TCA or Pterodactyl, on a VPS and the server daemon on a dedicated server with good single core performance. Rent them at a reputable host, ideally with DDoS protection. OVH may be a good place to start for decent priced servers. Hetzner auction servers have not got DDoS protection (AFAIK) but offer cheap, decent servers with good quality service and good support (through phone).
    Also, TCA costs £15 per node and pterodactyl is free and open source.

    On another point, the website is also important. The best billing software is probably WHMCS, which is about £15 a month, but some webhosts provide it for free, which could be worth looking in to to start, and often these offer reseller webhosting, which allows you to look into that aswell as games.

    I am personally aethiest, and I hate being forced onto religion, the other day, at my school, we had an assembly where we were forced to prey, for me, I found that slightly offensive, but there were muslims in there aswell, who would have found it very offensive.
    I think religion is forced onto alot of people, and they don't get choices.

    But if you say that people have the choice to turn to God for help, then why does he not help all people who turn to him? There's people that have died because they refused legitimate medical treatments for things like cancer, because they believed that God would save them.

    You are aware of the paradox of adam and eve right? (not the whole incest thing) but the simple fact that their "sin", was one of ignorance. God told them not to eat the fruit from the tree, but because they had no knowledge of right and wrong (which was attained by eating from the tree)....how could they have known it was wrong? They know god said not to, but that doesn't necessarily entail understanding that it was "wrong".
     
    My father is a big christian, and he still asks himself that question. What it boils down to in the end, in my view, is obedience. Which, as far as I am concerned, is all that the religions of the world are about.

    I'm not sure how passionate you are about this area of IT but if its as much as it sounds I'd recommend picking up these two books from the Microsoft Press Store: Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out Volume 1: Configuration, Storage, & Essentials and Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out Volume 2: Services, Security, & Infrastructure.
     
    That is, if you are going to be running Windows Server 2012 R2. But yeah, if you are really interested in it then I really recommend picking up some IT books, they are definitely worth it IMO. Many people will recommend just gathering material online, which can be useful, but with a book from a credible author you know the material is 100% legit and don't have to worry about its authenticity. It can be difficult to figure out if information online is true or false when you're still a novice yourself. Aaannd there's just something about reading a physical book that I like lol.
