Hello again,
love the revolutionary look, very fitted.
I dare say i am opening up an important can of worms here but Relating to recently found myself that has a spare PC in the home and wanted to place it to operate, it would be the perfect piece of kit to do to play around with and learn some new items so I wondered, can I use it as a webserver by using a typical Broadband connection including Comcast I’m not going to do anything too ambitous with it, just host my own ring website for family and friends but I figured it will be a great way of learning IIS (if MY SPOUSE AND I use win 2000 server) or perhaps PWS (if I stay with win2K pro). from what I recognize the problem is in Comcasts powerful IP address. for me that will host does it must be a static IP or is there a way around this.
Can anyone lose some light during this and offer some advice during this project please
Regards,
Mitch…….
You would need a static IP deal with… there are websites with that offer this.
Exactly why not many people host his or her sites though will be terribly poor add speeds on internet connections.
My broadband one example is has 2Mb Decrease and probably 256Kb ” up “, what does the following mean
Well whenever you view a web-site you download it as well as the webserver uploads the idea, if i host out of your home, the maximum speed anyone could possibly get is 256Kb, that is pretty poor around hosting terms. Especially if many person connects.
If you wanted to test it you need an opportunity called apache, i tried it the moment and got very lost lol, i know you will sensible better.
Load in most your server software package, Apache, PHP, Perl, and so forth…
plus create an " intra-net"… a broadband server within your own home.
A great way to learn.
You might even search Amazon for some books.
Each of the software is free (as far since UNIX stuff goes).
Any PC’s linked with the network in your residense can connect
towards the server and access websites.
Now i am more into equipment than software, so We’ve been experimenting
with tiny self-contained nodes… http: //www. siteplayer. com/main_content. htm
Most of these tiny servers particular webpages and link real-world electronic
devices towards the internet… or in my case, your intra-net.
Bless you guys,
I shall give that a go.
