You could learn webhosting by trial and error...

When I started learning about wepaging and webhosting there were not a lot of resources online, there were some that had the basics and I did try to learn as much as I could but I basically learned by trying things and making quite a few mistakes along the way. Now, there are more places where you can access web hosting tutorials that will help you avoid some of the most common mistakes.

Something I learned as I went along was the value of sub-domains, I thought at first that I needed to have a domain for each one of the blogs I wanted to have hosted on a server. I later learned not only is that not true, but I could save money on domains and hosting by better utilization of sub-domains.


That of course transitions into the decision of mulitiple domain hosting or single domain hosting. Many times it is much cheaper if you aren't using a sub-domain system to use multiple domain hosting rather than having a separate hosting account and charge for each blog or website. Why it's important to make these decisions before you start is many times you pay for these services in advance. It's much easier to take the time to set things up the way you want them than to have to later start switching over hosting accounts.
