Well like I said still in the research and investigation stage.  In general shared hosting, and domains maybe.  I am not a coder so no dice there..  I have currently tried or studied:
 
	debian, red hat, centos, ubuntu, arch, gentoo, and bsd  My Current choice is CentOS 7
 
	Interworx, directadmin, cpanel, plesk, vestacp, webmin, and CWP  I like and would use CPanel and Plesk.  Currently using CPanel.
 
	Blesta and clientexec.  Haven't tried whmcs or hostbill  (seems costly.)  Currently using Blesta.
 
	I have accounts at NameCheap, Hover, Gandi, InternetBS, NameSilo, Resell.biz and Enom.  Not sure I prefer one.  Currently use NameSilo as a user not reseller.
 
	learning about KVM and Virtualizor maybe SolusVM next....
 
	Have looked into Maxmind, FraudLabs, and Fraud record.  Seems like Maxmind is the favorite.
 
	From the business side.  I have looked into becoming an LLC.  Looked at Paypal, Stripe and Square.  Also looked a Xero and Freshbooks. (I don't see integration there in Blesta).  
 
	Well I am sure I left out a bunch of stuff..  Anyway its no rush just learning.    I like the community here..  No body has yet to bash me.. so seems comfortable.  Relationships matter to me.
 
	Thanks
