Starting A Hosting Business

A friend and myself are looking at starting a web hosting business online. The only service we would offer is reselling webspace that we have purchased from someone else. Is it necessary to obtain a business name from our county in order to do this? And if so, since it will be a purely online business are we able to use our home address for the business address?
