3. Google. You're going to need to teach yourself a lot though: * What specs are good for the physical servers themselves * How to set up and maintain the web server software on them (IIS/Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl and so on) * How to ensure the server is Secure (firewalls, keeping the software update etc) * Domain names, name servers and all that jive * Virtualisation * How to manage customers accounts; there are some packages that do this for you but you'll need to learn how to use them * Most aspects of networking; especially protocols and the like * Tech support; going to get plenty of people asking you how to do stuff so it doesn't hurt to know a few languages
4. Lots of sites actually available, you just need to find the one that will help you. I am assuming you know HTML and CSS? You might try http://www.webmonkey.com they have tutorials Another site and one that you should really become familiar with considering all of the various changes that continually happen on the web is this one: http://www.w3.org
5. The starting a web host ebook has all the information that you need to know to get started. Many people go ahead and setup a hosting company without knowing what is involved or how to run one sucessfully. The eBook will give you information and save you time.
