    A serious warning: start hosting for customers only if you have much
    experience with all the involved services. And much means for over
    years. Web hosting is no trivial job.

    Then you should contact a registration company and ask for there
    conditions and how they work. First you will have to learn
    administrating DNS from scratch. www.tldp.org has a DNS (bind) howto.

    Samba for what? Samba has nothing to search in the field of webhosting.
    Get familiar with secure services like IMAPs/POP3s, HTTPS and FTPS or
    FTP/TLS.

    Don't expect you can get trained to be a Linux hosting service provider
    from asking a bit and reading a few papers. I told you initially. It
    needs a lot and long experience.
