Thank you very much for your inputs and advice. As yet, I haven't touched anything other than a Windows machine. I was thus wondering whether, while your suggestions are very good and that is where I would ultimately have to end up in, in the meantime, could I learn the basics in a few weeks just so as to set-up everything correctly and thereafter expend more time in learning the finer details of such a set-up? If that is not possible then I will be forced to just go with a hosting provider that handles some of these stuff - at least in the beginning as I learn "everything".
