So here is the thing I have never used Linux, I have used command line a little bit just from back in the DOS days (yes some of us lived through those) and recently from using some Drush and Git which are done through command line. But I wanna open the cheapest VPS account I can find <= ~$10 and play with it and teach myself to use it and eventually be able to offer that to my customers (I do web design) or even for my own network of sites. I mean what happens if a site takes off due to whatever reason and it can no longer be left on shared hosting and then I have no idea what to do on a VPS and I have to just give away a good client? So I think it clearly makes sense for me to learn to use a VPS, but I have read in some places "no way you will never be able to get it set up its just not worth trying" and I've also heard "best way to learn is to dive right in". So that's where I am at, any thoughts from anyone with experience? I am very computer literate in general just inexperienced with VPS, so thoughts? And if not VPS then what do I do if a customer's site becomes too successful for shared hosting? Any links to documentation or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
