Creating a Webserver help?

[Flisker]

Download CentOS 5.2 and install it as a webserver then update it (about 700MB of updates) then your all set.

Ok, let's start here.
1. NOTHING IS FREE!

Even if you have your own server, you're paying for power and internet. You'll need to pay for the domain, because it's impossible to get a free one. You'll need to pay for coding, unless you know how.

So, I hope you view this site to learn how: Www.google.com Or, you can go to: http://www.tagbytag.org/tutorials/we...are/wamp-guide.

Perfectly possible to get a free domain.

Yeah, but it's 99% of the time tied with buying another product, like hosting or cpanel etc.

You can get the usual .co.cc, .co.nr and .tk for free without buying anything.
You can get free .co.uk (1 year) from OVH.
And with UK2 being stupid and forgetting to protect the voucher system again, you can get loads of free domains from them.

.co.uk I know is free. I was assuming he was getting a .com Silly me. Didn't UK2 fix their problem? If not, pm me how to get passed that

If you're having problems thus far into setting up your home computer as a webserver - I really think you would have more luck getting some cheap/free hosting, and a domain, and doing it that way.

To be honest, you'd be wasting money paying your ISP money, electricity costs and more. You're better off getting some decent free hosting or even paying for some hosting.

Anyway, if you want to host it on that PC, here is some simple instructions that you should be able to follow;

• Wipe your PC's OS and files.
• Download CentOS and burn it to a CD (from other PC)
• Install CentOS as a webserver
• Install CentOS updates
• Portforward, whatever for your router / connection
• Get a domain, no-ip, dyndns or just use your PC's IP
• Firewall etc.
• Host your files
