    I have small company providing internet connection and many clients request me to provide web hosting by using wordpress. What do I need to install or purchase the ISP or hosting software or platform to install in my server and start give service to my clients.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    WordPress requires an Apache or Nginx server running PHP 5.2.4 or greater and MySQL 5.0 or greater.

    The WordPress team has provided a list of some recommended hosting providers at https://wordpress.org/hosting/

    You COULD do this on your own server.

    Most commonly it would be a LINUX based system, and would run Apache or Nginx as MacManX said, also PHP and mySQL. You could just give your subscribers an SSH login, but to be realistic you would provide a GUI web management system such as cPanel, this is commercial software.

    BUT every bone in my body is screaming “DON’T DO IT”, the support effort will kill you. When commercial reseller hosting is so widely available and cheap, I would advise you to establish a WHM reseller hosting package with a reputable hosting company, local to you and with a good support plan, reputation is everything. Then you resell cPanel accounts to your clients, be sure to have a method of charging your clients for support time.
