It's threads like this, that is the main reason I quit hanging out at gfy as much
spacedog leave the hosting to the professionals please, if you can't find a good host I will suggest a few to you that will let you get started for less than $20 and you won't end up losing your cable connection over it

Well, It's a LONG, LONG story..
Film is VERY competitive industry & expensive too..
I wanted to make movies, but gave up on that false hope & started to venture into music video..
I covered alot of the local bands til I made a name & got some national acts to work for..
I had my own TV program for 4 years, I worked for New England Cable News (Til I got bumped due to union rule..)..
Photography did'nt take off the way I had hoped..Got few jobs doing promo's for bands..Had few models call up for headshots..
nothing great..
Journalism..NO FUCKING MONEY..had some shit published as freelancer, but lost interest..My passion for writing was really in fiction..Time was an issue & I never really finished any story I started..
Well, to cut this short..(I piqued a few details in another post..) I had a crisis in my personal life & it all pretty much got real fucked up & fell apart...
Hey you guys what is wrong with hosting from home? I have a commodore vic20 that I run over a 2400 baud modem and I dish out Warez all day. My partner SonOfRage and I are making millions every day from it!
It can be done space, so if it's just an experimental "learning" type thing, and not based on being fuckin' cheap, then go for it... I'll even give ya tips.
I host from home myself. But... they're very low bandwidth sites, not 50 gig-a-day shit, I got a T1 pipe in here, and I certainly am not running Winblows 98. Plus I have an extensive background in networking, hardware & software from my AT&T days and beyond, so I know what I'm doing. I host some stuff here, because I can.
But I certainly would never recommend it with the parameters you've given and certainly not for the sole purpose of saving a buck. Cuz you're NOT gonna save a buck. You'll spend MORE trying to set yourself up to do it right than you would by just getting some pro hosting. I've spent shitloads of money on my setup. Again,... because I can. I do this shit for fun man.
However, if you're really interested... and you're set on doing it... hit me someday when I got some time & I'm in a good mood, and I'll tell ya anything you wanna know.
Thanks AMP..but I'm not set on doing it..
I just thought it was possible....
Apparently not.......
I have no interest in setting up that type of system..shit..If I were to do that I'd just open a fricken hosting company
I just thought it'd be easy & cheap..
I don't know anything at all about servers/hosts..shit...

I would not know the things I know if I didnt ask..
Hmmmm....Last time I checked, 4 years of college = 8 semesters...
Take your spare PC and turn it into a local server using Linux or FreeBSD, you can then learn everthing about servers htaccess scripting and the whole shit. You will be able to use it just like a dedicated server or virtual hosting package.

sorry but the only modem done for a vic20 was 300 bauds Still quite fast for warez though..
SpaceDog - Please just believe me. It's not worth your time or your trouble to try to set up hosting at your own house - even if it is for your personal pages.
Buy a copy of FrontPage 2000. You can use it to edit your web site galleries, plus it turns your PC into a web server on install. The instructions on how to serve your web pages to the Internet are written for the dumbest of us all, so you should be able to set this up.
You'll need someone to provide you with name service as well and you'll need a static IP.
One last thing, cable modems are built for downloading data, not sending out data, so you'll find that most cable modems do a piss poor job of hosting.
So basically, you'll spend money setting this up, you'll spend time, and the results will be piss poor. Your time would be better spent jacking off then venturing into this project.
Yeah..Stupid for asking a fucking question..

Does anyone actually believe anything that Spacedog has to say about himself? He constantly entraps himself in his lies. Just study some of his 2000 plus posts. This youngster simply cannot handle the truth.
When he is caught lying about going to University for 16 semesters, he changes it to 9 semesters.
Actually he could have stuck with his lie because some Universities are on the quarter system and there are four semesters per annum.
He is to stupid to know this so he just changes the lie, to something someone may find to be satisfactory.
1. Yes you can do it with win98 but it just allows
something like 10 connected at one time...
unless you buy MS software for around $ 600.00+
2. Been there done that, I was just serving some banners...
3. Don't do it...
4. Security... you don't even know what your asking for.... You'd be fucked in one week...
5. Why do you ask a question, get an answer and then ask 3 more when you get an answer...
But if your going to do it knock yourself out
