HogIT First, find out what items your VPS provider delivers to you. Do they update the OS? Do they update Plesk? Or do they treat it like a Ronco Rotisserie and "set it and forget it". Knowing what's included will help you limit the scope you need to learn. Also when you say "managing" do you mean using Plesk? Or getting to the command line and taking care of issues? For Plesk, numerous hosting providers provide flash based tutorials on how to use various features. Also, Plesk provides context sensitive help, which is often over looked. When you are in a section of the control panel, click on help at the left. It will be technically focused, but delivering hosting is a technical endeavor. If you are wanting to get your hands dirty at the commandline, then that's a steep hill to climb. A assuming the system is on a Linux OS, so one of the "dummies" books may be good. I don't know of a Plesk for Dummies title but there are many how-tos out there that provide good walkthroughs.
