How to use my own system for hosting Internet Website?

Question

Hi,
I am running Windows 2003 Server with IIS installed on it. I want that my site is hosted on my very own system such that whenever any request for that website encountered, the site contents will be transferred from my own system including GUI, Database Values and other values.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Also, please check with your ISP. Once you start getting lot of hits, ISP may disable your IP thereby forcing you to stop hosting. They don't want to have bandwidth hogs around the network.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible! But you have 2 things to concern about: + You must have a static IP + Your PC must be strong Plus, you should have a domain name registered to your IP for users to remember your website easily When using WAMP server, for example, the feature is called "Put online" (or something similar)

Answer 3

It is possible, but for it to be a good experience for visitors, you need a very fast connection!



I would strongly recomend 3rd Party Hosting.
