Using windows at the mo but im learning about linux and will soon be moving over when the time is right.

I'll advice you to learn one by one ... don't just try to learn everything ... you'll mass up everything.

i agree, html came first then javascript now php next will be hosting more indepth just skimed it realy wanted to know what i was letting myself in for (LOTS of hardwork)
but there are so many resorces out there (at a cost) but this is my calling.

Im currently using a hosting provider so hosting isnt something i need to rush into.

thanks for the advice much appreciated nice to know there are people willing to help others still.
