Click on "How To's"

Then click on home webserver. It tells it all there, in detail.

Hope it helps!

That doesn't really tell anything more than how to install XAMPP.

Hehe 3 of 4 cooling devices for 1 server? You can use that for a small server room.

Unless you mean something else by "cooling devices". Here are SoftLayer's cooling devices:

Lol, I mean like 120mm fans inside the case. I'm not buying an AC unit for 2-3 computers!

Well, it's simple: You can turn a regular computer into a webserver for PERSONAL purposes. If you want to sell web hosting, you'll need to colocate a REAL server or rent a dedicated server.

I don't know, a lot of ISP's offer fiber lines directly to your house these days for affordable prices. I think we will find more people running home DC's from their house in the near future.

Not in INDIA too..

I think your can try. just I am using my computer at my work home. and offer web hosting service such as for my friends and some user for over four years. though it is spend cost. but I like control server and others for myself.

btw, friends and user like my service, and they payment to me over than your hosting price. So I think you hard try do its and offer good service.

a good connection is needed of at least 5 - 10 mbps or you server will be extremely slow outside your network.

Upstream, that is. Most DSL connections can be up to 10Mbps but upstream is usually something around 1Mbps.
