I want to build and host my own website.?

Question

I bought some dell servers and i have windows server 2003.
I already have my webpages and other things created. What i want to do is host it on my own and maintain it on my own. My isp provider is comcast and from what i have been reading, I will need a static IP address.
The server i am using is PowerEdge 1900.
please help me or if you can point me in the right direction.

Answer 1

You better make sure that your not violating comcast's t.o.s. by running a web server. Most isp's get a little sticky about excessive use of their bandwidth. If you violate their t.o.s. they can revoke your service or upgrade your usage package to a higher price.

t.o.s. = terms of service

The link below should point you to enough info to answer any question you might have.

Answer 2

Well you can run servers on Dynamic addresses by using dydns or some other dynamic dsn service but it is not the best idea. To really work you do need a static IP, I think if you check with ComCast you will find that they can and will do this but it will be a BUSINESS class service and they will want $$.

And if you want to run your own dns service you will need two IP's. You also will need to register a domain name and set your server up as necessary.

I think you will be in violation (as stated above) if you run a sever on your home class line.

There are many web hosting providers and you might become confused to choose which one. It is very important that you choose a good web host. Good doesn't mean expensive. Good means reliable with great support. When you choose a web host, make sure they have excellent support. If you have a problem with your web site you want help now, not in a day or two.

It can be confusing when choosing a web hosting company because they all look pretty much the same and they seem like they know what they are doing. However, I recommend reading reviews from reliable websites so that you may compare and become more familiar with the hosting companies before making a decision. This website has helped me a lot with my hosting decisions for a while now

For me hosting is all about 1- Website Speed which you will not find faster, 2- It is the support team who really make a hosting company the best and worthwhile, they have never taken more than a couple of hours to get back to me with solutions, advice and fixes which is more than i can say about godaddy, bluehost, justhost and hostgator.

I am a web designer and I have changed back and forth from many companies over the years but my favorite one is SimpleServers http://the-seo-advisor.co.uk/hosting . I am moving all my websites to them as the contracts expire. I hope this will help you.

They are currently have these offers which you can use :
jwoffer = 10% off first order on any package or purchase
jjoff = £1 first month on any shared hosting plan.


Do not relly on answers like bluehost, hostgator, godaddy, just host....

All those companies are under one holding company, the same politics, good marketing, pure shared hosting. They have good affiliate programs they give money to people who advertise them on the Internet.

If you read reviews like top 10 hosting companies, in most cases you will find the SAME answer, based on affiliate programs, or who offer more to affiliate partners that is better, so forget these tricks.

You can install Linux with apache and run the website on your server.. Or just intall apache+mysql+php on your server whatever operating system you are using, but linux is more secure..
