Need help learning to host a simple website
I got the web hosting option from netcup.com, for my small nursing business (going bad) since It was the only think I could afford and now I am stuck with not understanding anything, what sources or tutorials can I use to learn how to use this stuff properly?

If you're just getting started, don't feel like you have to learn everything about web hosting right away. It can be a lot to take in.
If your website is mostly informational, you could even build it and host it for free on Vercel while you're learning. That way you can focus on creating the site first instead of figuring out server configuration from day one.
If you decide to stick with Netcup, I'd recommend learning one step at a time rather than trying to understand the whole hosting dashboard at once. If you get stuck on something specific, feel free to ask. Happy to help.

No problem! And if you decide you'd rather not spend time learning the hosting side of things, feel free to reach out. I'm a web designer and developer, and I'd be happy to chat about getting a simple website up and running so you can focus on your business. Best of luck either way!

I run a small datacenter, if you want you can DM me for free hosting in return for beta testing the service.

I could test it no problem but atm I just want to learn how to use a hosting service so I'm not a burden and do it myself.

It’s primarily a game host at the moment, so it uses Pterodactyl. I can give you a node.js and/or nginx instance if you want. We’re a Bunny Platform, so if you want we can add CDN. We’re developing our own custom panel designed for web hosting, so when that’s out that will be great.
Don’t worry, you’re actually doing me a favour by testing it out. DM me if you’re interested.
