But then you need a high speed internet. Comcast Cable or anythign similar to it isn't enough. Maybe if you are running a website that doesn't get much vist,

Hmmmm

I was hoping for a bit more information. This really did not inform me about how to build a dedicated server at all. I could find way more information on the rest of the internet than here. Sigh.

If a post is going to have a title of how to do something I really think there should be alot more details.

if you're hosting a simple webserver that doesn't get mass ammounts of visitors, 450mhz and 64mb ram is fine....but if you got ftp and stuff more is better. get a linux webserver guide if you want to know the details.

One thinks that if your running a site that is that low anyway, just find a free web host. ie. Trap 17. Saves Power, Internet Connection, and you can still use your computer without lagging it to users. (If Desktop & Server in one)

that may be true but you might need a warehouse to store all your servers if you are serious about having a webhosting company
and you should make sure that all your users data is safe you would need to put it on a secure server encrypted with ssl otherwise you would be breaching the data protection act

but if you have done all that then all youi would have to do would be to promote your site and let vistiors sign up to free/paid or both hosting

Want an easier way to make your hosting? I have everything .. no need to pay for anything .. I have created a tutorial and the sites to get al lthe programs needed .. so if u would like a try.. please PM me .. i am also more then willing to help out..
Many of my tuts are dealing with web hosting, hosting, and more.


If you really want a paid dedicated server there is also ways to build ur own and have other people pay you .. tho u dont have to pay becuz its reaslly just a free server that can make subdomains under any domain .. (ex. subdomain.yourdomain.ca/org/net) .. so once again PM me and ill get back to you.

Please have your email and name and what you plan to use it for .. I am very picky of what people does with my tutorials and stuff like that .. and also my stuff are against the law to steal .. with my own copyright approved by government, Police will be brought to crime scene if the tutorial has been stolen or put on a public site for others to take or download. so remember email, name, PM me

I don't think its a good idea to build your own dedicated server. for me i prefer to have my server on 3rd party hand and apart from that they provides you with the backup necessary to protect your data and server provider usually located in secure place so to build dedicated server on your own took a lot times and money spent.
