1. Time, Intelligence, Awareness of the competition, Money, Good hardware, Good software, Good connection speeds, Knowledge of HTML / CSS / ASP / PHP / Javascript would be helpful, an understanding of DNS and Apache or IIS would be a must, plus a whole list of other things.
2. To do web hosting as a business you need a high-speed connection (generally a T1), a computer with a big hard disk (or more likely a bunch of such machines) running webserver software (Apache on Linux or IIS on Windows), a reliable backup system, and enough knowhow to do support, to keep things running, and to help your customers. Web developing is much simpler -- you need web design, development, graphic design, and programming knowhow, but you can do the work on a plain old home machine with a DSL (or even dial-up) connection. You go to a hosting service (there are thousands of them) for the actual web space. Many hosting companies do web development on the side, but most web designers don't do hosting.
