Nope, cant be done. Millions have tried and failed.

Yes, just set up a computer as a web server and load your page on it. Then sign up for a domain name and point it to your IP address.

I think for that you need a computer connected to the internet 24/7 and a permanent IP address from your ISP
Reply:Yeah you can, I know plenty of people that do it. There is actually a guy that runs a dating site on his own servers and it has about 500,000 visitors a month. Depending on the application, I would not use just a computer. They do not have the security measures that real servers have. You can get a server from dell and they will teach you how to work it. If you only plan on having a few people on the site with no databases or information being transmitted, then a computer with a dedicated IP will work ok. Good luck!
Reply:Yes, but unless you know what you're doing, it's often a bad idea.





The bare bones of it is: You set up a computer as a server, get a permanent IP address from your ISP (often costs more), get a domain name for your website (you have to get that anyhow), and then add content and maintain the computer.





The problem is, if you don't know computer security well, there are a host of things that could go wrong. The vast majority of spam comes from improperly set up Windows servers that have been hacked into by automatic processes. Don't add more to that, please. Securing your own server is a lot of work to learn, and can be a big pain in the butt if you get it wrong. There have been reports of people getting jailed for having child porn on their servers that they didn't know about, because they didn't know how to secure their servers.





So...is all that hassle really worth $50/year? It is if you're interested in learning about technology and security, but if you're just trying to save money, it's probably a bad idea.
Reply:You can do it, but why? Hosting services have gotten so cheap that its not worth it. Here is a guide to getting started: http://www.richkahmer.com/build-a-websit...
