Hi .. can any one tell me detailed procedure to make my computer as web server ... i know its not advisable when we go business but i want to know how it goes by implementing for some of my sample sites pls guide me
First you need to have a static IP. If you are using linux, install apache & if windows install IIS. If you want the domains to resolve from your machine, you will have to install DNS as well. Point them to the server IP's and configure webserver. If you are unsure, hire a sys admin to do it.
I don't think , you are going to setup server in India where company provide bandwidth at large cost. As well you are not going to spend more than 20000Rs/month. If you are able to spend ,let me know otherwise just wasting the time. -Static Ip (Most of the local provider don't know, paypal don't know by bank manager in many areas) -DDOS protection -24x7 monitoring -Bandwidth (Speed must be in Mbps) -Electricity (You know better , how Indian Electricity is good) Just leave and buy the managed dedicated server.
You can install a free Linux OS such as CentOS or Ubuntu. It comes with a web server: Apache. You can read Apache documentation to learn how to use it. Ask Apache questions here if you run into troubles. We will help you here.
Yeah i know it doesnt work commercially .. but i just wanted to try how to make a use of it ..just for a knowledge .. i hope knowing is not a sin and i thank you for ur suggestions and checklist
the most important thing is to get a static IP and the follwoing tutorial will guide you Making your Computer Accessible from the Public Internet at http://www.nch.com.au/kb/10046.html
if you want to run sample sites for testing you don't need a static IP. You can use a dynamic DNS service if you want a URL, but you can have Apache/IIS, etc. listen on an HTTP alternate port like 81 or 8080 to view your site. Google "what is my IP" to get your public IP if you need someone else to see it, but localhost with the port will work just fine. Obviously, this is only for testing and not for production.
Well just install WAMP server on windows and also no need of Static IP get DynDNS easy way this is just for fun for commercial purpose I will never think india is a place Also i tried making my webserver from my home PC, spend over 10k closed it in 2Months because the Connection Sucked and poor Speed in India
If you are familiar with linux, get the very basic plan from DigitalOcean ($5 per month), download http://virtualmin.com/ the linux command is (wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh) and install it (linux command: ./install.sh). That's all...
