QUOTE(Elegost @ Nov 12 2005, 02:15 PM) **NOTE*** This turorial is not meant to "Put Down" Trap17 and its amazing free webhosting. This is meant to me a fun "Weekend" sort of project. Any either way, any webhost you make can never be as relaible as Trap17  HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSERVER In this tutorial you will learn how to make your own web server using an old computer. What you will need: 1. An old computer (Or a new one, your choice" 2. Network adapter (If the computer doesnt already have one installed) 3. Network Cable 4. Router (to connect computer to web) 5. Software (See below to download...) 6. RAM Upgrade Heres how: 1. You will need a computer with atleast 115mb or ram (The more the marrier!) If needed, install the networking card, so it can be connected to the internet. If needed, install the RAM upgrade, so the computer will be faster. 2. Connect it to the internet either through a router, or directly to your modem. 3. Boot up the computer, and open your browser. Now heres where youve got some options. There are many different programs that will turn your computer into a webhost. One of my favorites is Netserver. This is only for Windows PS's though. Another one you could try is AppServ. I have never tried this one, but ive heard its good. Another one who supports Linux is XAMPP. Again I have never tried it. All of these programs support PHP and MySQL. 4. Once you have decided which program is suitable for you, on your machine, go to their website and download their client, and install the program. 5. If you have a firewall, i would suggest removing it, other wise it may block people from acessing the computer to get the website, so no one would be able to get to your website. 6. And your done! With most programs, the computers IP adress becomes the URL. In order to be able to get to your website, the machine you are using must be connected to the web 24/7, and be turned on, other vise users will simply we shut out. If you need any help, please post below, and we will see what we can do for you  Enjoy, Elegost 
But if you setup your own server, how do you get PHP support and a cpanel, sql. It would cost a fortune!
No PHP is free from php.net, but yes cpanel if quite costly, I believe $600 per server per year, or $1500 per server, but don't quote me on those prices.
QUOTE(michaelper22 @ Nov 15 2005, 03:22 AM) Does anyone know of a free web site control panel (kind of like cPanel and DirectAdmin)? I'd like to try it, see what's out there as far as this goes. I know about three of them. You can find them at the following sites: 1. webadmin (http://www.webmin.com/) 2. web-cp (http://www.web-cp.net/) 3. gpl.host (http://www.gplhost.com/?rub=softwares&sousrub=dtc)
Good tutorial i have always wanted to know how to do this.

QUOTE Note: This is just my two cents on this. Don't take it personally. I don't mean to hurt anybody's feelings. Can't you read?
Good tutorial, i have used Windows Apache Mysql PHP (Also known as WAMP, Google it!), but i am thinking of changing to some of these, it seems better with FTP and STMP server in it
