I guess I expected much more
I would not have purchased this book, b/c the very topic (Amazon Cloud Services) moves too fast for print.This is a form of technology that is changing so rapidly that it is hard to publish material that will be of any daily use shortly after the ink is dry.

The book reads well, it covers excellent topics and I think the author does a good job.That said, you need to read this kind of material on blogs through an RSS, so that the day it is published you can read it and know that it will be antiquated very shortly!

The best book written on how to get started in the Amazon Cloud
My teams in two companies have now built solutions that used AWS and the Amazon Cloud Solution including systems that serve users with millions of page-views and mobile solutions serving the US, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Korea, ....

I WISH I HAD HAD THIS BOOK FOR THE TEAM!

Amazon's documentation and support is excellent, but Jeff Barr has put it all together in a precise, complete, and well documented roadmap.

Have you been intimidated by cloud computing and hosting your solution in the cloud? Don't be. Jeff leads you through the process step by step.

The previous review is right on - you """don't (need) to be a VC funded Silicon Valley start-up, or a Top 1000 website to take advantage of the power, flexibility and cost savings found in cloud computing."""

Although not just anybody can do it (such as my 84 year old mother)Jeff has done an outstanding job making it easy.If you are a reasonably web-savy mid-level PHP familiar programmer (my mother is not) you'll be up and running building highly scalable cloud-based solutions in hours.It's easier than fixing pizza....

Oh -- and if you have multiple programmers running around and want to keep a copy of the book for yourself - buy more than one copy.Someone already borrowed mine which means it will be MIA for at least a month.

Finally! Clear & Simple Explanation of Moving to Cloud Web Hosting
This is the "official" Amazon EC2 and S3 book, and it does a fantastic job of covering the basics.

If you've been intimidated by cloud computing and hosting websites on the cloud, fear no longer! This book will walk you through everything you need to know to transition from dedicated servers or shared hosting accounts and into supper affordable cloud hosting where you can rent servers for just pennies per hour and instantly go from 1 server to 20 and then back to 1 as dictated by traffic.

If you're still leasing servers for hundreds of dollars a month each, if commissioning a new server takes days rather than minutes, if you pay through the nose for bandwidth, if your site or web applications can't handle sudden traffic spikes then this book is for you. You don't to be a VC funded Silicon Valley start-up, or a Top 1000 website to take advantage of the power, flexibility and cost savings found in cloud computing. Anybody can do it. ... Read more

Run your web host with the popular WebHost Manager software

• Set up your server using WHM's powerful server management features
• Learn how to manage standard and reseller accounts
• Keep an eye on your server and learn to spot problems before they become serious
• Discover numerous tools and add-ons that can help you manage your server and differentiate your hosting from other providers.

In Detail

WebHost Manager is a package used by web hosts to manage their servers and the individual user accounts they hold. It is part of the same package as cPanel, so the host uses WebHost Manager while the client uses cPanel. WebHost Manager is at the core of many web hosts' business. Using web host manager, you can keep track of the accounts on your server, monitor their bandwidth and disk space usage, and much more.

• Set up a fast, secure, and effective server with WHM
• Work with Apache, PHP, Perl and Databases
• Manage standard and reseller accounts and use third-party programs that assist in this process
• Keep an eye on what is happening on your server by using tools that WHM provides and some third-party tools
• Deal with reseller and non-reseller accounts
• Manage DNS, IP and SSL issues using WHM
• Manage security on an on-going basis by learning what to look for
• Learn how to add useful features to WHM and cPanel
• Discover places you can turn to for help if you need it

Approach

• Concise, well organized style means you will be able to refer back to this book again and again
• Frequent screenshots and clear explanations throughout
• Highly practical, with frequent step by step instructions for the most useful processes and tasks

Who this book is written for?

An Administrator's Guide to WHM is designed for new server administrators and professionals who are new to working with WHM. Even if you've never had experience working with Linux servers before this book will walk you through every feature available so you'll be comfortable with WHM in no time. The book also provides tips and tricks that you will be using for years to come. ... Read more

just the basics
First, this book is extremely outdated, published three years ago-- virtual eons when it comes to tech books regarding apps like WHM that are constantly being updated. Some of the book screen shots are entirely outdated. And only the bare basics are covered here, with hardly any definitions of many of the terms. This is really just an intro to WHM. You're better off at the WHM forum unless you need an overview.

Excellent reference book
I find this book to be an excellent reference book while using WHM. Before purchasing this book, it was a tedious process trying to find and use other help sources, not to mention a little confusing too.
I find that both books by Aric Pedersen "cPanel User Guide and Tutorial" and "Web Host Manager Administration Guide" are of equal value.
I highly recommend these books if you are finding yourself confused.
Marc

Very well done
All of the online documentation for WHM is way too basic. This book actually describes everything in detail and in an easy to understand format.

I highly recommend it for anyone using WHM.

Valuable reference for the new to novice WHM user
I was sent a copy of this book to review as a neutral third party
host. I have no relation to the author/publisher or any personal
benefit in reviewing the book.

Just like the author's cPanel book which I also enjoyed, this book was
logically ordered, clear and easy to understand.It also includes
screenshots of virtually every part of WHM you could ever want to see.

As expected, it takes you step by step from the beginning to getting
into advanced WHM functionality.An advantage to this text though is
that it includes the author's own experience (most of which I agreed
with) on what things you should and should not do.If you don't know
yet, WHM allows access to all sorts of settings that aren't always
going to be suitable for all server applications.He does more than
just saying how to do it; he provides explanation on when you should
or shouldn't use something which is great.

If you're a seasoned WHM veteran, you may find a thing here and there
that you weren't familiar with (I did), but I think the most value is
going to be had by those who are new to cPanel/WHM.If you're making
the move towards becoming a Reseller and you're completely new to WHM,
this book is going to save you tons of support tickets and headaches.

A nice addition to your cPanel/WHM library.

Good resource for WHM
There really wasn't a book of this kind before this came out. Before if I need Web Host Manager help, I usually had to rely on the documentation that came with cPanel (which isn't great) or had to use the cPanel forums (which are nice, assuming you can find what you need). This book was a very handy guide, and had information on WHM that I didn't know existed (and I've been working with WHM for years). So here's the order I'll be looking for cPanel/WHM information now:

1) This book
2) The forums
3) Then, if all else fails, the documentation

Like any book of this type, it'll be dated when/if cPanel makes a major change, but it'll still be useful beyond that. ... Read more

Product Description
E-mail, e-marketing, e-commerce, e-business, and e-communities - just a few years ago, having a presence on the Web was considered innovative.

Terrible
Poorly written, horrible grammar, extra-large font & huge black and white pictures.It's mostly filler.A quick google search or a visit to the Microsoft web site will provide you with more detailed and relevant information than that given here.In fact, this is an expensive 80+ page version of your "help" documentation that shipped with windows.Sorry for having to write such a bad review, but given the price of this book (btw: it's a magazine) and the author's credentials, I can not recommend it.

Disappointed
The book was a little disappointing to me. The book is $42.99 and only 85 pages long. The font and the images are so large that it took me less than an hour to read the whole entire book. There were many typos in the book which could have been easily caught by the publisher, if he had one. There was no mention of a published on my copy.

On the bright side, I did learn some helpful tips on hosting web sites. I just wish I had more content for the money.

Review
I have this book.It is very well written and easy to understand.I highly recommend this book.Makes it easy for us not-so-technical users.

Great Book
I highly recommend this book. It was especially helful for me (I don't know a lot about computers or the internet). I have recommended this book to people that I know are paying to have this done for them.

Web Hosting Made Easy
I have always wanted to host my own web-page, but I did not want to go to the expense of paying a 3rd party.This book was simple to follow, and allowed me to host my own web server using the current DSL service that I had. A friend recommended this book to me, and I have highly recommended it to my friends who are interested in an easy step-by-step guide to web hosting. ... Read more
