What do I have to do to host my own web site?

You can use any old (or new) PC and load linux. Install and configure Apache server. Copy your website to this computer and obtain a public IP address from your ISP. You don't need any expensive servers unless you will expect tons of traffic (in that case you will also need a better connection to your ISP).

If you want to host your own web site you would need a server, a very expensive peice of equipment. If you just want your own .com adress many web hosters have it for a fee, such as geocities.com or freewbes.com


Both also have free versions where your web site it like geocities/uername/filename

All you pay for is the domain cost.

Reply:You are asking to host your own website. That's not having a "free" site or any other "paid" company host it. You will need a server. I would recommend running Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition. I would recommend a "starter" server like the one listed in the link below. Prices start at around $500, but you can find a deal on a lesser, used server on Ebay. You don't need much unless your website is very successful, getting thousands of hits a day. Once you've gotten one, you'll need to install IIS (Internet Information Services) which is the program that runs in the background that allows folks to access your website. It comes with Windows server OS'es so there's no extra charge. You will need a broadband connection such as DSL or a cable modem with a static (non-changing) IP address. You will need to either host your own DNS (same server, different service, also free) or pay a yearly fee for DNS hosting. If you choose to host DNS, you will need to forward port 53 and port 80 to on your router to the new server. Of course, you will also need to register your domain name with a domain registrar like godaddy.com or networsolutions.com. When you set that up, you will need your static IP address to assign the name servers for that domain (NS1 and NS2). You will need to add the appropriate records to your DNS server as well. Once this is done, simply place your website (already created, I hope!) in the root folder for IIS (usually C:\inetserv\wwwroot) Make your default page either index.htm or index.html or default.htm (html) or if using active server pages .asp or aspx.


That's it! It's not an easy task for a novice, but I hope this helps!
