    Hello guys, I was searching on how to make a home server and host it with domain name and got my answer,
    Set Up a Home Server | Webmonkey | Wired.com
    Now my question lies on how to make it as a cloud service.
    I often use my laptop to do my work, i have 2 laptops and it often gets virus and sometimes some problems, so i use dropbox to safe my data. I installed dropbox and safed my data.

    My question is, if my home server has a web adress like example.com, can i do a public domain and data sharing.

    I know c++, c#, and vb so shud i code a app to make it download things from my home server to my laptop like dropbox does. I don't really just do all my works in my house and sometimes go out.

    Can anyone say me an example or any clue ?

    Hi.

    Check out http://owncloud.org/. With this Software you can make your home Server to a full cloud Server that does even more for you then dropbox.
    On the Features list you will find all Details. Maaging contacts, Music, files and even calenders is easy and powerfull. Also there are a lot of mobile apps out there supporting owncloud.
