This book is an excellent walk-through and tutorial for anyone wanting to setup a server for web hosting using Webmin. I was impressed by how many of the modules it covered, and how it is based in on a quite recent Webmin release (unlike my book!).

The goal of The Dedicated Server Handbook is to provide you with step-by-step instructions for setting up, configuring, and managing a dedicated server. Throughout the book, the author addresses the software you are most likely to find on an Internet server, such as FTP, Apache, MYSQL, and email, all discussed through the eyes of Webmin... Enough appropriate material is included that it should be possible, with little or no previous experience, to set up a web server quickly... You will save a great deal of time setting up your server, which makes this book worth the money.

Good job on The Dedicated Server Handbook e-book. It is well targeted to beginners. It has pictures which conveys thousands of words. It is well put, indexed, systematic and functional. It actually works, I have personally had success with it. I highly recommend this low cost investment, it will get you started quickly and is fun to learn.

I would just like to say thank you, for such a great walk though on setting up my own dedicated web server. As a designer I always paid someone else to take care of my servers and now I can take care of them myself. With your book I am also going to be able to offer my customers a full service one stop shop for web design and hosting. I never really realized how easy it is to setup a server, but thanks to you, even designers can be server admins.

Thanks for the great - and much needed! - video series and Dedicated Server Handbook. I've enjoyed both of them very much and they are extremely helpful in not only setting out what is necessary to manage your own dedicated server but also to "push" someone like me (who has a lot of cpanel and WHM experience, but not dedicated server setup) past the unknown and into server freedom! I am going step-by-step through the Handbook and it's right on the money. I really don't know how you could acquire so much information on your own (other than by apprenticing at a web hosting company for 10 years...)!

I would like to let you know that I have successfully setup a dedicated development server out of my own house now that runs my own DNS and Apache2, PHP5, and MySQL5 and the DNS part of that is thanks to your book.
Overall your book was written extremely well. The instructions were very clear and detailed enough that someone with some basic *NIX experience could get through them without too much trouble. Most tutorials do not go into enough depth on the commands to run or why you run them but your book takes care of those sorts of gaps. Even though I am a fairly experienced web developer and have set up Apache/PHP/MySQL more times than I can count I still appreciated that level of detail. If I feltI didn't need the information I could simply skip it which I found much easier to do than digging around online hoping I could find the missingpiece(s). Props for the book and I hope that others find it as useful as I have.

I have been in reciept of your book and videos for a about a week now and would like to thank you for writing the book and creating the videos.
The videos have been invaluable! Make more!

Jason Rastrick

I think the video series is fantastic. It made it possible for me to add Linux servers to my repertoire. I have a server running well and doing exactly as I require. Thanks.

Greg Neid

Thanks a lot for the book, I think it's very helpful and all of your videos as well! Issac is professional and responded to my few questions quickly. 100% satisfied

Alonso Martinez

Your videos are great. I set up a Ubuntu test server running on VMWare and it all works great! I work in IT for a school system and I am trying to learn Linux so I can use it a my school network. Thanks!
PS I'm buying the book too now!

I just wanted to thank you for the great information and tutorials!

This handbook is a must have for the dedicated server newbie (like me). I bought a server for our expanding internet site and didn't know where to turn for setup guidance. This book is jam packed full of information that would have taken me days to collect on internet forums. I don’t think I could have set our server up without this.

William Donovan

I enjoy watching your videos because it is impossible not to learn from those videos when you watch them. I watch them over and over until I master the lessons. I will now get my own copy of the Dedicated Server Handbook.

Arold Gregoire

Wow! This is huge! Lots of great information. I feel like a little indian boy with a new toy! I also really liked all your videos. I was up until 5 in the morning watching and rewatching. Thanks.

The web-tech training I had taken left out a few key items that I needed for setting my development/testing intranet arena up like the internet. `The Dedicated Server Handbook` has filled in the gaps, refreshed my trainning and has given a better understanding of the technology.

I had been searching for an all-in-one server solution book such as this for a long time now. I was hesitant in buying `The Dedicated Server Handbook` as all the books I had seen were incomplete - missing the key items I required.

I found your videos on the internet and signed up for the free video training and with some luck got my server up and running. I am using ubuntu server 10.10 with webmin 1.530 so the videos were a little behind the time and I had to do some trial and error testing. (I had some trouble with the DNS figuring out when to apply zone or configurations - and setting up virtual named hosts in Apache2).

I purchased `The Dedicated Server Handbook` as a `thank you` for the video training that solved my problems. As it turns out - `The Dedicated Server Handbook` is a complete step by step tutorial for getting your server up and running securely. It is also a great reference and now that the 2nd edition covers webmin 1.530 it will be even easier for newcomers to setup their servers.

Thanks again, Issac!
