Hosting my own website? (Can any help me)
Hello, I'm getting ready to get a website from a great friend and flash desiger... But theres something I know anyone can do.. It just cost some money to get it going.
How do I host my own websites from my own computer? Or were can I buy dedicated webhosting servers that I can use for myself like a "Sun Cobalt Raq4i"...
Could I build my own computer and get some program I don't know about that makes it easy as 1-2-3 to host your own fully made flash/html/java/xml website? I know theres a way, or a place you can buy em' I've tried for months looking no such luck. I hope someone can help me here, this is the last place I can think of for help.
Thank you in advanced, I hope if this gets answerd it can help others as well.

I have a Cable that does 2mb/sec?
I have a CableModem that runs 2mb/sec all the time it's never gone under 1.544megs yet. I have a 600Mhz E-machine 128RAM(pc-133), 20HD, Geforce 3? Is that enough? And could you point me to a link to get this OS? And that other stuff, I'm really new to hosting my own website as you may have figured out. I appreciate the helping hands. Yeah I could afford those 200+ or more a month websites but.. I want my own rules nothing extreme just no "NO's" I took a look at that dsn thingy, but it's too confusing for me... And how does it support a Flash website and all that? The site gave little info on how to use it. I still need help and suggestions. I'm keeping an eye on this forum.

Your 1.5-2.0Mbps is the down speed of the line. What is the up speed? If you plan on hosting large files and get alot of traffic, you need a large up speed. 600kbps at least. Hosting Flash files is just like hosting HTML files, any server will do it. PHP, or ASP, are another add-on for servers.
I have a 500MHz machine with 96M SDRAM that has a DSL 1.5Mb/256Mb connection that I host some junk on. I use DNS2Go as a dynamic DNS client. It runs Linux as an OS with an Apache server. Linux on slow machines runs great. I have never had a real reason to reboot other then some power surges. You can see that it has been running for 10 days with little load average.
