untagged - Learning Curve and time needed to install/manage Centos Server





Completely newby question please. I always had shared hosting. Now I am about to get a dedicated Centos server. I now need to know whether I should get a managed one or not. 2 questions please:




  1. Whats the learning curve (approx. days/months) assuming I am a fast learner?

  2. If I managed it myself, how much of my time (approx. each day) do I need to commit in managing the server? (Assuming normal circumstances).




thank you for any help!


Answer



If I was in your shoes, I would rent a very cheap VPS (less than $5/month) and have the provider install your intended Centos distrib on it. Use this to determine your comfort level with working with the platform before renting a dedicated server.



Also, please note that the amount of time spent managing a server will vary depending on what is running on the server.
