Are there any HOTWO's or books that go over real world, best practices, on setting up a computer like unix hosting companies do?

That is a loaded question if I ever saw one.

But, in a nutshell, most just install a web hosting control panel like cPanel, and call it a day. And I am sure it has "best practices" chapter where they recommend the best settings for the server. I could be wrong on the second part, though, but it only makes sense.

Some other control panels:

  • zPanel
  • Plesk

Of course VPS systems:

  • VMWare Server
  • Microsoft Virtual Server

I'll let my peers fill in the blanks.

Practices vary between hosting companies. No two I've worked for do it even vaguely the same. Your best bet is to find someone who works at a hosting company and buy them beers.

They all have their own, but for a quick down and dirty i would suggest you look at http://www.howtoforge.com/instaling_ehcp_on_debian_ubuntu . there are several other ones on that site as well
