How to host your own Website.

Requirements



Hardware and software needed


To host your website,first you must have a good hardware and a reliable software but nothing really fancy. Also in these days,you can't think to have a web server without a DSL connection,or better,a cable connection with,at least,o.750 - 1.5 MB speed UL & DL.
The minimum hardware configuration:
Pentium 4 processor or equivalent
1 GIG ram memory
200 GIG hard drive
DVD drive
Graphic card Nothing fancy
1 router with firewall to be always connected to the internet.
Software needed:
Good operating system,windows xp,windows server 2003,linux ecc. but,since I have windows running this tutorial is based on a machine with windows and IIS. A good antivirus that can either be Norton,McAfee or A firewall and the most important thing is to keep your antivirus always updated same with your operating system
When you are hosting your website the risk of been hacked is very elevated specially with a static IP.
Yes,you'll probably end up to have a static WAN IP, you can ask your isp to provide one for you and if the server you going to use is in a home or office network you will need a static LAN IP as well.
  • An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP)—in other words, a computer address. Any participating network device—including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, can have their own unique address. Simply, IP Address works on a computer like the

    number that uniquely identify your telephone.


    So what is a static WAN IP and a dynamic WAN IP and what is the difference?
    Like Your phone number, the Wan IP is the IP address that your ISP gives you find out your IP address here
    Now, if your WAN IP is dynamic ,like most ISP normally provide, will change each time you disconnect and reconnect to the internet. So ,like if somebody changed your phone number without notify it, nobody would be able to call you, so your computer and your website will not longer be visible on the internet unless you go to your dns server and update your WAN IP, but after that, it might take up to 36 hrs before the change is operating . So, much better a static IP because the static IP will never change and you always be online. You can purchase a dynamic IP Address from your ISP usually  for less than 10 aus $ per month
