I'm on holiday for 3 months so i would love to pick up the skill :) Where could i learned or read about it on the web?

Reselling, Dedicated, Business end (filing for biz licenses, etc.), Billing, Customer Service, Marketing... take your pick. Really there isn't going to be a all-inclusive site that explains everything, so what area are you aiming for?

How about http://hosthelp.com ?
Hope this help.

Thx.

And... http://www.recellar.com for reselling info...

I only need to learn how to manage my own site. I dont plan to be a reseller or start my own company. I need to know infomation like what i need to do after i get a dedicated box. Security? DNS all all that ...

Thanks.

Aaron

Aaron,

Depending on which company you choose to host your server, they will most likely help you with these types of things. I know that when our dedicated customers start out, they have many questions about DNS, Apache, security, etc.

After a couple weeks in the system, you will really start to get the hang of things. However, if you would like some recommended reading, I would personally suggest "RedHat Linux Unleashed" for information on almost every aspect of the linux system, and also "Hacking Exposed" for in-depth system/network security help.

Also, O'Reilly has a book on just about anything you would need that is related to the internet. You can browse their site for more information on their products:

Other than that, the best way to learn is to get some hands-on experience in your system! ;)

Good advice Matt... also the above quote could also extend to installing linux on a spare computer you have/purchase at home and mucking around with it. That 486 in the garage would do nicely.

i think your best plan of action is to pic what os you want to host on, then go to your book store and buy book with info on the services you will be installing on that os.

If you do a search on the forums you'll find a list of recommended books... :D
