I would like to host my site on my own without paying these companies to do
it. What type of software could I buy and use for this? I would like to
keep Windows XP and not migrate to Windows Server 2003. Does anyone know of
anything out there? I also want to be able to publish with FrontPage
2000/2002 and 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi ,

Well, unless you plan to limit the number of connection you'll need to use
W2K or W2K3. Also, do you have connection that is fast enough? Cable
companies limit the upload speeds, most to < 50 kB and if you do DSL does
your agreement allow it.?

What about firewalls, redundant connections etc.

In short, are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?

If you have XP Professional, install IIS
and run your web using it.
However, how are people going to find your website??
Unless you have a static IP address, and your domain registered
and loaded into a Domain Name Server which points to
your IP address, no one will be able to find it.

When you type www.website.com in your browser,
your browser query's a DNS server, which reroutes
www.website.com to the numerical IP address that contains
the domain.

As an example, open a command window and type:
ping www.yahoo.com and press enter. The DNS server
used by your ISP will convert www.yahoo.com into this.

C:\>ping www.yahoo.com

Pinging www.yahoo.akadns.net [216.109.118.64] with 32 bytes of data

Plus, WinXP Pro web server will only allow 10 simultaneous connections (not
to be confused with users) which means 2 users at one time could use all ten
connections, after which the computer must be rebooted.
