I tried to host a website on my own computer, but my ISP doesn't allow that. So now i'm looking for a computer with internet access where I can install my own webserver, PHP and MySQL. I prefer a windows computer, but a unix based i fine to me too.

Thanx.

get a new ISP or connection.

to install apache you need to be root - someone would need to be very trusting

Can't get a new ISP or connection, don't have the money for DSL (slower), and there is only one cable ISP, so.

Or someone would have a win98, like me. You can run a nice server on that (like me).And if you configure everything, and if you have a firewall, you don't need to consern about hackers.

You always need to be concerned about hackers. esp with win98 and a free firewall

Hmm... Windows 98 and an HTTP server? Wee! What fun! I guess I'll just con/con the server and make your computer crash! It'll take less than a minute!

In other words: Even if you do find the right ISP, don't run any server on Win9x. Even a firewall won't stop it.

con/con ???

how about some creativity ;)

Coolin is right. it is a good idea to invest in some security. even if it is just for a small group of people word will get out, and you will become a target.

You people are right, but I'm giving it a shot at freeshell.org. If I can get a MySQL server to work there.

Does Freeshell allow you to use background processes on their server? In other words, are you allowed to set up a server there. I don't think this is allowed on any free shell and your account will be terminated immediately.
