if you feel like answering questions for free - my first would be is putty a good ssh client or would you use something different. and then, what the hell is the first step? start installing shit i guess. but i have no idea how to do it, or how to do it safely for that matter - so thats why i offer to pay someone because im absolutely retarded in this dept.
O.K. first thing is to get two ssh tools:

putty is mandatory, I also use winscp a gui ssh tool.

Before you start decide on the control panel, I highly recommend cpanel since it updates most security holes nightly.

But it basically takes over the server so you can't change too much.

next I would recomend webmin
