Install your own server, you can use XAMPP: http://apachefriends.org/en/ :D

you use the software in your computer too

Thank you very much

I dont have hosting yeat how to build a hostin in my computer

[redboyke]

just install xampp it's a software that let people see the website on your computer.

btw: RTFM

[AMC]

RTFM???

It isnt a good idea usually to set up a site running from your computer, the strain will be to much for a normal Pc, especially if you are going to be using it as well.

[Keagle]

And it's going to be hard for us to explain everything to you, try getting some books or something, or search google for tutorials.

[Darknight]

Please dont!

You just give us all a even worse name by using crap internet pretending to be a host
Go dedi in a datacenter :))

[wagehost]

are you sure.:-) :-) :-) :-)

[Abush]

XAMPP is meant for development and testing environment not for real live sites.

[wagehost]

XAMPP is meant for development and testing environment not for real live sites.

which software will be real live sites

[brutetal]

Try Wamp, it works for a localhost testing site for me.

[DavidsAwesome]

no... if you want to have a website, get free hosting.

If you want to be a host, get a reseller account or a dedicated server.

People that run servers from home give hosting a bad name, theres no redundancy, or reliability.

ex... if a server crashes at a dc, they know what to do and can usually get it up pretty quickly... If your computer crashes, You might be screwed.

And what about when your power goes out? Datacenters have generators to keep everything running.

What happens when your internet goes down?

I could go on forever... its such a bad idea.

[wagehost]

Try Wamp, it works for a localhost testing site for me.

So If I use the Software and how can I use My own Ip to visite and host other people


Please help me to answe the question:-) :-) :-)

[brutetal]

But why bother to use your computer to host many websites?
Even though its possible, its just not reliable as a server in a DC.
Its really for personal use and thats it.
Are you really going to leave it on 24/7?

Just get a reseller.

[Wojtek]

Hum, sir/dude
I looked at your other threads and it seems you require/offer web hosting relates services.

Now, If you were intending to host your hosting business from your computer, let me just say lol.

At least get a reseller from a normal company. There is no way to host clients on your wimpy domestic bandwidth.

[brutetal]

Don't you already have reseller?

Why do you want to make your computer to a web server, if you already have a reseller?

[wagehost]

Don't you already have reseller?

Why do you want to make your computer to a web server, if you already have a reseller?

i want to make personal website like Chinese forums. there one dont suppot chinese forums . so I want to make a forum in my computer

[Tree]

You could set up a virtual machine, install a flavor of Linux, and then apache and MySQL. I did that in about a day for development purposes. Not too hard.

[Dark Matter]

There is loads to think about.

Connection speed and bandwidth
Your isp might not allow home webservers
Security (someone could hack your computer and steal documents)
leaving your computer on 24/7 (good venting to stop over heating)

i'm not trying to put you of i just think paying or free hosting would be the best answer. if you just testing out and your interested in servers and want to learn setting up a home server would be great to experiment with not pro host.

Good luck :)

Aaron

[daylightnetworks]

get a shared account to start with to learn on how things work and keep going on later when your knowledge grows :) hope this helps

[AMC]

Yeah hes right, really when you stack up the power costs alone. let alone the connection, you are WAY better off getting some payed hosting. :)

[stuffradio]

Have you checked your ISP's ToS to see if they even allow this?

Where Can I download the flavor of Linux
please'

thank you very much

[Wojtek]

1) install linux (I recommend CentOS or Fedora)
2) http://www.lamphowto.com/
3) If not sure on something, like where to download Fedora from, search google

[Tree]

Google 'CentOS'. It's pretty versatile and user friendly. From setup you can just have it set up Apache, PHP, and MySQL. For virtual machines I recommend VMware Server or VMware Workstation. Both work great and are free.

[wagehost]

Can everyone give me software for not test. I alread test, is very good. right now I want really one. Can Bulid website and mysql in my computer. My Ip can be a website. like this one http://217.174.196.131

Please tell how can I do it


Wait your guy answer the question

[wagehost]

try this:
http://www.no-ip.com/support/guides/web_servers/setting_up_iis.html

This is for windows 2000.

My system is windows xp

larry

[fireshark]

IIS is provided as standard with Windows 2000 (Professional, Server and Advanced Server), Windows XP Professional Edition,

<some chars>

[wagehost]

<some chars>

I dont have the(IIS) software for my computer...

But My system is Windows Home Edition

[stuffradio]

doesn't matter if it's 2000 or xp it's the same thing.

Just read on how to do it it should say how to

[Wojtek]

Home edition dosnt come with IIS.
You'll need to upgrade to XP Pro for a limited IIS5
Or google for how to install IIS5 from an Xp Pro disk on Xp Home, there's some tweaks available.

Or just install apache. they have a build for win32, which should work just as fine as IIS.

[wagehost]

I alread test. But I dont know how to get IP work. and Give Ip to my friend. and they can visie MY IP like really Webhostingg...


larry:beer:

[brutetal]

Do you have a router?
If you do, you need to port forward 80
and then go to like status or information about your router details.
It should give you your acutal ip address.

[cmartin]

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but running a webhost from your computer is not exactly the best idea. Not only will it consume a majority of the computer's resources, but your ISP (internet service provider) would probably not be happy (most of them do not allow the practice of running a home server).

Chris

[brutetal]

At least my ISP allows me to, but their reliablity of uptime sucks.

[wagehost]

What is LInux. Doent it support Windows

[brutetal]

LINUX is an OS just like Windows.
and no it doesnt becuase its a different OS.

If I want to install the Cpanel software how can I do it.


I Must install the

[stuffradio]

"What is LInux. Doent it support Windows"
:lol:

[Dark Matter]

doesn't Cpanel cost? i do also think that linux should be the OS you should use with apache.

when i use to do shoutcast tv i had to make sure the video bitrate was a good size to support more users to watch with the bandwidth i have on my internet i have 2mb/s and the upstream is the one i had to deal with and so will you with running a host on your computer. most of the time the upstream is lower then your downstream. unless you have a 100mb/s connection which would cost loads you should be able to provide a good hosting service.

but once you got cpanel a massive connection ect it would proberly me cheaper to get a dedi server.

[AMC]

Cpanel costs a lot, an owned liscence is $1200, i dunno what the monthly fee is though

[ganesh.rao]

The best software I have ever used is Apache2Triad.

[wagehost]

I LINUX some with windows like( apple Computer and windows)

[XeonGX]

i don't even recommend hosting a personal site

[Tree]

cPanel is about $70/month, depending on how many licenses you buy, who you bought the license from, any deals that are going on, etc.

[Wojtek]

You start to make no sense.

[brutetal]

I think the first step to a web hosting busniess is to speak english we can all understand.
Since english is truly a global language.

[wagehost]

your guys talk about me..

[Keagle]

Mate, please speak the langauge known as "English" so that me and the other exceedingly patient guys trying to help you may understand you. By the sounds of it, you have absolutelly no idea what the hell you are doing, what the hell Computers are, etc. I would reccomend just buying or requesting free webhosting.

Thanks,
Keagle

What u talking about man... LoL:usflag: :usflag: :usflag: :usflag:

I from Chinam, I learn English. and Right now I want to learn how to install the Cpanel in My computer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

:tired2: :tired2: :tired2: :confused4 :confused4


Lol Lol Lol

[Wojtek]

Dear Chinam man, cpanel costs 1200$. I don't think you want to spend this much.

So, either
1) convert your windows box to linux and install a free panel (vhcs)
2) use IIS on your windows
3) purchase hosting somewhere else

In either cases, all 3 options have been described in this thread and you still have no idea what was said or what to do.
Solution: Find a Chinam forum and discuss with them in your language.

Lol Lol Lol

You want to run webhosting over a chinese isps connection? Good luck with that, those connections can barely withstand browsing the internet, which they suck at. No offense, but you need to get a real server, in a real datacentre.

[brutetal]

lol I don't know why your laughing but its ironic. lol

'Nuff said. Pay $1200, and move to a different country, and maybe you will get somewhere. Oh, learning to speak English would be good too! =)

[AMC]

Keagle, i just gave you rep, for making me laugh once, sadly i cant do it twice :( but maybe, for just hosting, this would all be a little extreme :P: :lol::lol:

[ReyRey]

usa8host, the point is, just don't do it. it is much easier to use a free host.. why can't you host yourself with your hosting service?

[wagehost]

usa8host, the point is, just don't do it. it is much easier to use a free host.. why can't you host yourself with your hosting service?

I dont like free hosting. i want to make my own hosting in my computer.

And i dont want to buy a hosting....

But I will buy Cpanel anyway.... is very cheap for me...


:usflag:

[brutetal]

$1200 is very cheap for you....

[ReyRey]

:usflag:Do you run a flavor of Linux on your computer? Do you have a static IP?

If not, cPanel won't work on your computer.

BTW, your speeds are going to be AWFUL, so dont even try downloads.

You don't want to buy $2 hosting but yet you're gonna buy a $1200 control panel. Excellent. ;)

[Wojtek]

This thread is going nowhere. We're back to square one.

[Dini]

Lol Lol Lol

I can't speak english and I will make my own host on a 128 kbps connection and no computer knowledge at all!

Lol Lol Lol me rockz

[brutetal]

lol not really, we found out he won't accept anything that we say and still presist on trying to make his comp into a server for hosting websites. Even though he barely has any shown knowlege of it.

[Wojtek]

Even though he barely has any shown knowlege of it.
Yet he owns and advertises his hosting business on those forums :)

Yes, I will install the Linux on my own computer... I just try for 15 day. I am not to buy the sotware. I have A IP/.....

:evilb: :evilb: :beer: :beer:

Give me some beer to drink

:usflag:

[brutetal]

So, your just gonna try it for 15 days then get a refund?

[wagehost]

So, your just gonna try it for 15 days then get a refund?


just 15 day no refund.... then I will Install free hosting CP like Cpanel...

[Wojtek]

Linux is free my dear chinam friend. You don't pay for it.

[brutetal]

I thought he was referring to Cpanel.

[wagehost]

thank you very much guys. but i want to learn how to use linux. so I buy a book with the install disc for $70 dollar.. is bad for me or what:beer:
give me two beer

[wagehost]

Linux is free my dear chinam friend. You don't pay for it.
I from china. not chinam:confused4 :confused4

[Wojtek]

thank you very much guys. but i want to learn how to use linux. so I buy a book with the install disc for $70 dollar.. is bad for me or what
That's actually a good step to learn. Good.
Now, just so you know, the 70$ you paid where only for the book. Not for the disk with linux. You can download linux for free form the internet from the official websites of each distributor.

[Dini]

You could have saved those $70 bucks for something "software" related and just download manuals from the web. There is masive Linux Doc. in the internet these days ;)

[Wojtek]

Books are a very good first contact with the thing. When I was a kid I used to go to the library and pick up books on borland delphi :)

[Dini]

Well, I have to agree with you, I learnt Flash because of a book someone gave me.

Back to this guy, I'm still concerned about his internet connection. I've been told internet in China is just too slow

[wagehost]

thank you guys to help me a lots of. and I learn a lots
:beer: :usflag: :evilb:

Its not so much internet connection in china - speeds are good -- to China websites, the problem is with the rest of the world.

375kbps upload from china to los angeles. Pretty good.
You can go ahead and setup your small linux for for testing, but beware that with your connection you can only upload at ~45kb/s. Which is still ok for a personal site, but becomes problematic if 45 people are viewing the site at the same time, (each only gets 1kb/s). I hope you get the idea.

Good Luck and have fune

i am not in China. I am In USA

Ok

:beer:

[Archbob]

I'm chinese myself and I go back to Beijing every once in a while and yes the connection there generally sucks. By the looks of it, this guy is either joking or does not know what he is talking about. I draw my conclusion from these points:

1. He asked if Linux supported Windows - Now this would be a valid question if he was talking about WinEX or Lindows but I doubt he was talking about an OS emulator for that.

2. He wants to host a website on Windows XP, home edition it would seem. Who does that?

3. He doesn't seem to know anything about apache, php, or server managed.

4. Somehow even though $3/month for hosting is expensive, $1200 for cpanel is somehow affordable.


This thread overall makes absolutely no sense.

But back to the point: What are your computer specs. If your going to be hosting a website and plan on using your computer at the same time, you'd better at least have a Dual-core processor witgh 2GB of RAM. Your website may be down anytime you are playing a game or running a serious application.

Theoretically I could host my website(s) on my laptop, but that just wouldn't be smart, thats why I pay over $200/month for a dual-core dedicated server.

does vhcs CPanel have PHP5 Apache MySQL

the website is http://vhcs.net

[brutetal]

No, it uses PHP 4 but it has Apache and MYSQL.

[Wojtek]

does vhcs CPanel have PHP5 Apache MySQL
[/url]
Geez, VHCS is a control panel.
PHP5 is a program.
Apache is a program.
MySQL is a program.
VHCS can control the above 3 programs. Create users, databases, email, etc.

This thread is dead. We aleady suggested every reasonable option. I suggest you go do some homework. If you don't know the difference between a control panel and php, we're going nowhere.

Thread closed.
