I am just thinking about starting a small hosting biz for fun. I am getting a trial version of Win2K Adv Server and have got a trial of Hosting Controller (it doesnt quite work right on Win2K Pro I think) I am trying to figure out how to set it up and config everthing right. I plan on adding SQL server, and Imail later if I can afford it. Right now I just want to get everything setup with my DSN, and static IP would someone be willing a shead some light on the subject for me please. Thanks.

These places are a good start:

Notice that I started with security ;)

And then we have http://www.iisfaq.com/ which should answer pretty much all the rest of your questions. ;)

Good luck.
