what is the difference between electrum server and electrumX
Thanks

If you just look at the git repo of electrum server, you'll immediately see following text, completely answering your question:

This code is now unmaintained. The replacement code for electrum server is ElectrumX: https://github.com/kyuupichan/electrumx
source: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md

As for a tutorial: same answer, there is an easy step-by-step guide right on electrumx's git repo

For the truely lazy, there even seems to be an installer, directly linked from the first page of electrumx's repo:

I believe the Electrum server just functions as a full node with some extra compatibility for the electrum wallet. ( Which are necessary for electrum wallets because they aren't directly relayed to normal nodes of the bitcoin network??, )

There's some good guides on how to install either ElectrumX or electrum-server, and how to either publicly host it, or for own personal use.

See https://freedomnode.com/blog/69/how-to-install-an-electrum-server-using-full-bitcoin-node-and-electrumx for example.
