Thanks flesso thats great! Plenty to be getting on with there, can you recommend any good web hosting books?

The web server for me is two things; something that Ive always been intrigued by and a tool that allows the world wide web to happen. I don't think I would ever really consider actually hosting a website hosting from home, apart from to fuel my interest in just having my own web server and learning all about it.

I definitely agree that from a professional point of view if you wanted to host website hostings then you would need much more than a computer sitting in your bedroom on a broadband connection, even if it is supposedly "high speed".

If you want a more serious web hosting solution and actually want the high level of control owning your own server allows, then I guess a dedicated server or VPS Hosting is the probably only way to go.

To be successful in operating and understanding either of these areas I'm going to need to learn a lot first! Its good to have somewhere like this to get friendly advice
