Is there anywhere I can go to find out how to set up my own server on my home
computer, or anyone who can tell me how to do so? I do have broadband cable
internet, so is this enough for me to set up my own server? And, what kind of
software and hardware do I need to run my oww server?
Thanks

I use a few things--
Apache web server (www.apache.org)
DNStoGo (www.dnstogo.com (iirc))
and a Compaq p2300 with a 3.2 gig HD running Windows 2000 (basically so I can
use the built-in FTP functionality of Win2K.)
That’s it. The cable company uses dynamically assigned IP addresses, so
sometimes the IP on my system changes. That doesn’t matter ‘cause DNS2Go has a
little applet on my system that sends the new IP to their servers, so domain
forwarding for http://sparky.i989.net always points to my system.
Works quite well. The whole thing was basically free (the Compaq system is so
old that my company let me have it, Apache is FreeWare, and DNS2Go was freeware,
but now they’re charging 14 bucks a year--still woth the price :)
14 bucks so I can have my own web server--that’s good ‘nuff for me
Just let me know if there’s anything else...
