I was looking month ago about rent a VPS, I found lot fo offers, some of them cheap some of them not cheap at all.

Well I want to know how to manage a VPS, but first want to know what exactly is a VPS.

I found info about that and I think that I have to use putty.

a Vps is like a mini dedicated server lets say a half dedicated server you still get rootaccess its like 4 Vps's make 1 dedicated server.

I suggest you to have some control panel on top of your VPS, Cpanel or Plesk are popular choices.

Putty is a small Windows program that allows you to connect to your server using SSH or telnet. You will have a comand prompt on your server, where you can run desired commands.

You can't learn to use putty, no such thing.

You need to learn linux commands.

Putty is just an interface to your server.

You can Go for some Paid Managers to look after the Server or Geta Managed VPS.
