Whos has there own private server?

Does anyone here have there own private server?
Also how do you get your own server?

 

I have my own server I host some games on.

A server is nothing more than a computer designated to handle a lot of incoming multiple connections.

Buy either a high end computer or servers that any legitimate computer company sells (though they can run a little costly).

You can also buy the parts and put it together yourself, saving loads of $$$ in the process

 

My online presence in terms of sites is pretty insignificant, for me to have my own server to host them!

I personally use reseller accounts, but what you are looking for is a dedicated server. This is a server that you pay a lot of money for that is housed somewhere. Note, it is not cheap and you will have to do a lot of maintenance.

 

You mean dedicated? It's not a big deal, most of serious webmaster have it. You get it the same way as virtual account. The prices start at $50-$99 a month. It's more expensive than virtual hosting but it gives you much more freedom in administration of your server, more resources and security.

 

I was thinking about having one, but my interent speed its pretty rotten at the best of times due to the fact i stay ages away from the exchanxe If i move and can get better speed i will certianly set one up!

 

rather than go down the "server" route you can now just put stuff in the "cloud".

 

Own Server? You mean dedicated server? Yes, I own 2 of them.

 

I've used Joyent which is really good. you get fixed prices which is much better than the Amazon or Microsoft clouds. I'm running a web site with a SQL backend on a single accelerator and it only cost me just shy of $200 a year.

 

oh, but you have to know what your doing as you have root access.

 

I had a windows vps but canceled it couple of days ago (had no use for it anymore

It is the cheapest windows vps that I could find (that is 'good' + accepts moneybookers)

google for eukhost

 

i pay $370.00 per month for server over at softlayer then i pay $29.99 per month for PSM + $50.00 per month for backups so costs me $450.00 for my main server per month. For the members who say they wouldnt know what to do its very simple you pay for a server management company and they do it for you.

 

I have 2 dedicated servers, one for file hosting and the other for testing before a site goes live, I don't have enough bandwidth to support hosting a live site from my location.
