Hosting sites are hard but fairly cheap to set up compared to others.

Hosting is one.
Game Development is another, very hard work. But it pays off.

You would have to get to an exceptional standard to make it pay off properly. Games are actually quite hard to sell.

I was mainly talking about online really. Like MMOCCs, MMORPGs,
Console gaming. Is yes, very hard as you have to keep up to the standards

Obviously it's Search Engines and Social Networking sites. Although you'll have a trouble breaking into the market as they are basic ran by the top dogs as it is. If you look at Alexa's top 10 websites online, they are basically made up of search engines and social networks.

Most of the sites are into the billions.

Lmao.

Search engines make money from advertisements and sites added to their engine.

You could make a system to find the best designers and developers. Designers and Developers post up their work, portfolio etc and their standards and people search through for what they want.

PM me if you don't understand, or reply.

Exactly ;) Don't just go into a project where you know nothing. You want to research a stack before you are prepared to put any time or effort into something like this.
