Hey, I was wondering how you do this. I have a fast cable connection, 20 gigs of free space. How would one go around learning how to become a web host?

Even if it is only for me, and get about 500 visitors a day? No downloads either. Why then would cable be so bad?
What I'm saying is, can you make your PC into a server?

Cable sucks. Get a reseller package (but don't go with donhost) or you can buy a dedicated server from someone like http://www.rackshack.net . By the way I think this thread is in the wrong forum. Or maybe it isn't.Originally posted by roly

Too slow...Trust me, for a site as big as yours, you should have at least a t1.Originally posted by agiantdwarf

In an everlasting search for low pings.
You need an isp who provide _static_ ip address. (or else you will not have a mail server.)

But what if you get disconnected and then reconnect? Your i.p. will change.Originally posted by Daniel

That is why I don't like cable, I have a static IP just for hosting off my web server. It is slow but it is not bad at all.

There are a few ways to handle the IP address changes. One way is to use dyndns with a program called directupdate...supported on unix, win32, vms, and mac. When your ip changes, it will change your dyndns name as well. Just alias your dyndns name with a CNAME on the dns to you domain name and you'll be ok.
Do the same with your DNS file with your MX and CNAME records for your mail server, and you can run a mail server just as well dynamically. If your IP should ever change while mail is delivered, it will be redelivered to the host name...which will retranslate to your new IP if the mail package is rejected and resent by a relay/email server.
there are a few ways to grab a static ip with cox and time warner, nut i'm sure the mods will pull my post if i discuss them...the web just isn't what it used to be...hope the above is helpful!
