A serious warning: start hosting for customers only if you have much
experience with all the involved services. And much means for over
years. Web hosting is no trivial job.

Then you should contact a registration company and ask for there
conditions and how they work. First you will have to learn
administrating DNS from scratch. www.tldp.org has a DNS (bind) howto.

Samba for what? Samba has nothing to search in the field of webhosting.
Get familiar with secure services like IMAPs/POP3s, HTTPS and FTPS or
FTP/TLS.

Don't expect you can get trained to be a Linux hosting service provider
from asking a bit and reading a few papers. I told you initially. It
needs a lot and long experience.
