Hi, if you are interested in using cPanel, read their system requirements page (http://www.cpanel.net/products/cPanelandWHM/linux/sys_requirements.htm) to start with.

Also google something like "howto home server linux" (without the quotation marks). There are a number of different Linux distributions on the market. Personally I prefer CentOS, but you should choose the distribution of your liking.

It also sounds like you're quite new to the whole Linux scene, so perhaps installing a Linux distribution on a client PC would be a good start to get familiar with commands and learn how to setup the things you want to setup?!

You're posting this in a Windows forum :)

WTF! Linux sminux!

you need better connection with high upload ... and need best antivirus.. has to use some harware for security... any how only for one site dont do. just buy a dedicated server in any hosting company and do it... its better for u
