| 413228 | 2005-12-16 12:59:00 | Ok complete novice here when it comes to web servers . I want to set one up . . . . No small feet for one who has no idea as to how to operate one, but I'm a quick learner . . . :badpc: Basicaly what I want to know is . . . . what do I need to set one up . . apart from a pc . . . . . software???? Nothing to complicated to use . The internet conncection . . . . . who/what/where??? Static Ip or dynamic???? . . . (ok so I know a little) how do I host other people's websites on my webserver . . . in terms I understand . . . how do I get the internet to recognise that their website is located on my webserver . . I know it's got something to do with virtual hosting . . . :confused: and thats another thing . . who offers the best discounts for registering more than one domain???? Oh God I think I'm in over my head, but I've already got 4 people wanting me to do the job for them . . . . so . . . what do I do???? My own site that I have in mind is just too large to have host on someone else's server . . . . I've checked and they want to much money per month to host it . So the server is going to have to host the site, handle email, be able to have a search feature on any website, web based chat, member login and log out on certain websites . . . . . gah it's a nightmare . :lol: |

Learning the ins and outs of operating this will take a long time especially when starting from scratch, and if you want to sell web hosting to paying customers you will need to offer some sort of uptime guarentee. What is your budget? and what sort of space do you require? do you expect to make money from the 4 people that want there website hosted with you? |

But bubbybrat if you what to see how to set one up & see how they work etc… [edit] I have re read your post bubbybrat, I would recommend that you find a proper host instant of hosting it your self :) |

As someone said above, it is usually against your ISPs Terms of Service and the upstream ADSL speeds in New Zealand are far, far, far too slow and unreliable. If you are charging someone money for hosting on a 128Kbs connection I guarantee you will end up with a lot of angry customers. If you want to host a few big sites yourself the best option would be a dedicated server which would cost you around US$150 per month. However, as you don't seem to have experience in managing a server you might be better to recommend a host to them. Good choices are TJR Networks (www.tjrnetworks.com) and Myacen (http:). |

| 413234 | 2005-12-17 09:21:00 | Have a look at www.x10hosting.com. They have free webhosting - very good plans too, on the condition that you place their ads on your site. | somebody (208) | ||

| 413237 | 2005-12-17 11:15:00 | colocation could also be a good option once you learn how to run a server. Im looking at it at the mo, but its way out of my budget (no money, still at college etc...) | dwnz (5333) | ||
