Little question....

Hi! I tried almost everything but this program(CIS WebServer 3.5) makes it possible to make your PC a virtual host, more info: http://www.cisindia.net/webserver.html

So I want to ask, If someone downloads a file from my virtual host, does it slow down my comp by uploading the file, or is the file already in the net??

I kinda have the same question. If i run my computer as a server for a file uploader/host on my lan (1mb download bout 300kb upload) will the other computers notice any lag in online gaming, internet browsing, etc? Would it be slow for people to download files off my server with my connection speed? Thanks

Anyone? Please try that proggy and help me out... How does this sound??

You get unmetered bandwidth and the same value space as you have on hd!

PLEASE HELP! One of the ways to get your site in the net

The program you mentioned is the same as any web server. What is your connection speed? If you are using dsl with anything higher than 500kb down/128 up and all you want to host is a few small html pages/images than you should not notice any difference in general internet browsing. The only bad thing about running your own server is that downtime will be much higher than using a paid host as everytime your computer crashes, etc. the server will shut down. Unless you have a seperate computer to run the server and your internet does not go down very often then i would not recommend hosting your site on your own server. If you try to host large 50mb+ files you will notice a difference in internet browsing when people are exsessing them.

THX! But, I have satellite, download speed is 30kb, dunno of upload.. and just wanted to upload high-quality 175MB anime files...

..........30kbps?? That is slower than a modem. You will NOT be able to host anything on that unless you made a typo, especially 175mb anime files. For those kind of sizes you wouldnt be able to host it. You would need paid hosting.
