user knows how to use IIS for local development. Assume no knowledge on the
rest though that may not be the case.

You have obviously been involved with a different sort of "users" than I
have... Hehe...

Frankster,

So tell me what you mean. Can you recommend other tutorials or guides to
these issues than Kristofer did? Thank you Kristofer by the way for your
help.

No, I can't. I hope his works well for you.

When you say this "user knows how to use IIS for local development. Assume
no knowledge on the rest ", I take that to mean that this user has used some
program (maybe Frontpage?) to create a website on their local machine and
can run the website on IIS installed on their local machine. I assume they
would probably be using Windows XP and the "personal" version of IIS up to
now.

This is a long way from designing, hosting and administrating a publicly
available website and email. Lots of server side knowledge required for
IIS, security, and Exchange (or other mail program) along with a fair amount
of network knowledge required of routing, security, and dns record creation.
There is the "host header" or individual IP decission, the performance
decissions, etc. Then there is the mail agent to perform live backups. Then
there is the overall backup and disaster recovery effort... and much more.
I've never seen one book that will take someone from "familiar with
Frontpage" (I know, my assumption based on your comments) to hosting a full
blown public presence on the Internet. Web development is one thing, systems
engineering and systems administration is another.

Maybe this user is way further along than you describe. I dunno... I can't
imagine asking anyone to go from "assume no knowledge on the rest" to doing
all this in any reasonable amount of time.
