One thin I'd recommend, just getting a manged server if you're going to host sites on it. That way in case you screw something up, someone that has the knowledge is there to fix it.
When I first learned server management, I purchased a managed one. Then, if something happened I couldn't find out/figure out how to fix, or time was too crucial and it kept me from doing my own research on the issue, I would submit a ticket to my host to get it fixed, and ask them to document the steps they took to fix it in the ticket for me so I wouldn't have to waste their time later on when an issue arose.
Not so much an answer to your specific question, but, just some general advice for someone just learning.
If you have an unmanaged server/VPS you are looking at anywhere between $40-$100/hour average for ANYTHING you ask the host to do.
