FreeBSD would be an excellent choice as the OS for building a server for your business. Have you spent any time browsing around at http://www.freebsd.org? Thre is quite a bit of information there about FreeBSD in general, and all sorts of documentation and help. Do you have a more specific question about setting up a server using FreeBSD? You mentioned above, "steps to take other than a domain name and configuring a server" - I'm not sure, specifically, what type of info you are looking for. Also, if you goto http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists you can search these email list archives, as there have been quite a lot posts in the past about getting started with FreeBSD.
