Obviously the most important skill one needs when they are hosting a show is being confident. If one is not confident there is absolutely no chance that you will ever get listeners glued to your shows.
When being on air, don't forget that you are hosting a show for people who might be LOTS smarter than you. So being confident doesn't in anyway mean that you will be going beyond the line of respect by dissing them in any way. Stay modest yet confident.
Talk about things you KNOW about. Something that you know about is lots easier to discuss on air with on air callers or listeners that are tuned in.
Confidence comes from within, develop your own style and when you have it will be LOTS easier to be yourself.. being someone else is always hard

Hosting your shows
I have been hosting shows on one of the most visited online streams for Asian radio, CrazeFM.com .. Below you will see how you can setup your radio.
There are various ways you can get yourself on air.
Option 1
The simple way for the newbies out there is to set their test account with live365. You will be hosting your own fun show in no time..
Live365
With Live365 you can start your own "radio" from 9.95 dollars a month. And obviously the quality depends on the rate you choose.
You can either pay a bit more for more listeners being connected or less to just test out their system.
This is their simple 7 day trial package
Live365 pays all royalties! (SoundExchange, BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC)
Revenue Share! Earn bounties for each new VIP and a share of VIP listening revenue
Live Listeners: 3
VIPs: unlimited
99 USD / month
Basic Listeners: 100*

Check out Live365 for your account
Option 2
This option is when you have the power in your hands. Get yourself a dedicated server and install Icecast on it. Icecast is a free software that allows you to create multiple streams for your radio. Then when that is set up you can set it up with Sam Broadcaster. A windows based program that will save you TONS of time and would connect you to Icecast on your server which later on will be heard by the listeners worldwide.
There are lots of tutorials on the net when it comes to icecast.. check out some below:-
