Hi to all,
Can someone give an idea how can i put-up my own webserver, it's just only a plain site.
what would i need?
Thanks in advance.
You need a program (service/daemon) running on a machine that will answer port 80 requests. As well, you will need port 80 to be open. Most (U.S.) ISPs will block port 80 on non-commercial service, forcing you to pay more to have that privilege.
This will only get your ip to answer port 80 requests, therefor offering a webserver. If you do want, however, to have a domain name (ex, a dot com, dot net, dot org), you'll need a DNS service to offer your ip to answer to domain name requests.
Apache is a normal webserver, it can run on Windows & *nix servers.
I hope this helps.
