The first thing to do was to find a reliable host. Rimuhosting came highly recommended - their support being allegedly second to none, so I took on a VPS deal with them, and very glad I am about it too.
I have had Ubuntu installed as OS, the reasoning being that I have a copy of Ubuntu at home, and can fiddle around locally, knowing that the learning curve I am making will be useful for me on my server.
Unlike most packages sold by ISP's, rimuhosting gives you the bare bones and you have to set it all up yourself, a daunting task for one not particularly versed in linux.
My experience with Rimuhostings support staff has been second to none, esp. as my questions / problems were real newbie stuff. If there is any shortcomings in their support, it may be that they sometimes don't realise just how ignorant you might be, and do realise you could be doing something really stupid...
