Hello there, welcome!
You could get more specific answers on skills needed if we know how much you would like to do yourself, how much you will outsource, etc.
I don't use cyburwurx yet, but I hear many good things about them and they are probably my next host. Just remember that with hosting(and alot of other stuff), you get what you pay for.
I don't use any processors either, ccbill is seen alot though, I think there might be only 3 or so.
If you have never sold online or done html you might want to start with some newbie courses to just get your feet wet with the business.
Adult webmasters need morals too.
