What are you starting from? Any hosting software installed already? Look into XAMPP - very easy to config, you should be able to handle it yourself, or ask me any questions you have  |

I'm not sure where XAMPP installs offhand, but look for that and t hen in the htdocs folder is where it hosts pages, I believe. Try backing up what's in htdocs now and then putting whatever you want hosted in there.

I've a better idea. How about you point all your domains at my host, and I'll host your one page for 1BTC a month . (PM for details. Offer open to all.) (Until I work out the mechanics of this, I ain't going to offer it.) I seriously would suggest don't host a website on MS Windows machine, esp. not a machine at home. If you aren't a pro., it is really easy for things to go wrong. And then your home machine is screwed. Also, XAMPP is not meant to be used for live sites. The default configuration is not good from a securtiy point of view and it's not secure enough for a production environment - please don't use XAMPP in such environment. |

Considering he only wants to host 1 page (and I'm assuming html in that case), it should be secure enough. Just once you've got the page setup disable the mysql and filezilla parts of xampp and you should be good.

Ok I made the page, put it in the right folder, when i go to 127.0.0.1 it comes up, but when i try to see it thru my ip it times out, are there certain ports i need to forward with my router? Edit: what about my subnet ip? |

1. Assuming you have more than one computer at home, you should assign a static IP adress to your machine(say *.*.*.100), otherwise everytime you turn your computer off, you'll have to redo port forwarding.(see step 2) 2. Setup port forwarding on your router so that all incoming requests on port 80 are forwarded to your computer(*.*.*.100) on port 80. 3. Point all your domains at your router IP, which you can find out by visiting a site like http://www.whatismyip.com/I would recomend WAMP as it is slightly more user friendly. first: get rid of Windows© and install a decent operating system.
this is a very fair comment if you intend to leave your machine on 24/7 Regards, Soon to be CCNA qualified  m P.S. Anyone who needs help regarding these matters or anything to do with networks are welcome to pm me. |

I wouldn't get a VPS. VPS might be more than what he actually needs to do. There are shared hosting available for less than $5 per month... I host my site, http://www.bookingtool.com on shared and it runs great. For a simple 1 page site, that should be more than sufficient. |

Edit: what about my subnet ip? Just open up port 80 and you should be good to go. Step 1: Buy a VPS. Do NOT host a website from your home connection, it's going to end badly. I personally recommend DigitalOcean.
Step 2: Point all your DNS names at the IP address.
Step 3: Install apache2 / httpd (depending if you want debian based operating systems or rhel based)
Step 4: Use winscp and copy / paste the html file into /var/www/
Step 5: The website should load for all the domains.
Bam! $5 / month for hosting all those sites.
As long as he isn't promoting his sites past his friends, I don't see much of an issue. If he is, then this is good information (whether gets shared or a VPS \/). Hosting a website on a home connection can not only put yourself at risk for infiltrations, but can also be a breach of contract for many ISPs. I wouldn't get a VPS. VPS might be more than what he actually needs to do. There are shared hosting available for less than $5 per month... I host my site, http://www.bookingtool.com on shared and it runs great. For a simple 1 page site, that should be more than sufficient. This is good logic. However, I think he wanted the educational benefit of setting up the server himself. |

Why you don't set a Ubuntu-server/Apache configuration with https://www.digitalocean.com/. It is really cheap and simple. |
{ Imagine a sequence of bits generated from the first decimal place of the square roots of whole integers that are irrational numbers. If the decimal falls between 0 and 5, it's considered bit 0, and if it falls between 5 and 10, it's considered bit 1. This sequence from a simple integer count of contiguous irrationals and their logical decimal expansion of the first decimal place is called the 'main irrational stream.' Our goal is to design a physical and optical computing system system that can detect when this stream starts matching a specific pattern of a given size of bits. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=166760.0 } Satoshi did use a friend class in C++ and put a comment on the code saying: "This is why people hate C++".

For what he needs, a VPS is way too overkill. In this case I would go for shared hosting, because your home computer is probably not going to be up all the time, plus it brings up some security issues. Also, don't use Windows for this, use Linux.

Probably overkill but if his goal is to learn, it may not be a bad idea. You learn more from running a VPS than using shared hosting setup by someone else. |
