If you aren't using an FtB pack it's not really an FtB server, is it? Just curious, since I've created dozens of servers in the past 35 years but have never built one for Minecraft... :D

Its a modded server so it follows the same rules as an FTB server. However, with third party packs they might not include the batch files needed to start the server. Basic steps:
  1. download the server files for the pack. If this is an FTB server I usually recommend just using the legacy FTB client for this. It is a little easier than trying to locate the pack on the FTB's home page.
  2. unzip it into a folder.
  3. Go to that folder and launch the ServerStart.cmd file. If the pack doesn't have one copy it over from another pack or create your own batch to run it.
  4. Done. Of course they can and will be a lot of other factors that figure into this. But they can vary a lot depending on your exact setup and neds. Also, if you go with a hosting company a lot of this may change due to their graphical control panel they use

Do note that *newer ftb servers come with a ServerInstall file. This obviously needs to be run before the ServerStart file though it may be the case that it will be run automatically as part of the ServerStart file.

Also, make sure the server does not start the gui as the gui does not add much and in my experience it will create a lot of lag.

*newer refers to packs since minecraft 1.6 or something like that

I didn't mention that because the ServerStart script/bat is supposed to call FTBInstall the first time it is run. Likewise on the gui as well.
