hi friends, I want to Build Dedicated server at my home Following are the elements which are already i am using. Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.8 GHz Gigabyte 945 motherboard, 2 gb ram 320 GB Hard Disk Gigabyte lan Card Centos 5 operating System Internet connection of 256 kbps. What are other elements remaining ? cPanel? -- Its too costly, i want free control panel..... DNS server software . I knw there is software called Simple DNS. I have used it but i dont know how it operates. I also want my DNS servers like dns1.myhost.com dns2.myhost.com with domain www.myhost.com Is the Dedicated IPs are required for my 2 DNSs ? Is my internet speed is sufficient ? Please help me .............
hey if it was that easy then everyone would have started at home and datacenters would run under loss!!! It seems you are a child with a lot of dreams - its fine but but but.....!! If it is for your personal use it might be ok. but let me remind you if it is for selling, you are wrong... Oh and you are on 256kbps. do you know people have upto 30MBPS at their home? how will you support them? And you know datacenters have upto GIG uplinks?
i suggest you cpanel as you dont know anything. cpanel will install everything by default -- DNS, email, mysql, etc everything
For personal use, i would suggest you get started with WAMP if you are to access it in your LAN. But if you wish to access your server from outside your local network, you would need Public IP and a DNS server.
beside that,you should have at least 1 dedicated ip for setting up the dns. please consult your ISPs,to get you a dedicated ip.
just a note.. your ISP might now allow having dedicated server up in home as it requires dynamic real ip.
