webServer was down
Had a little long downtime on my website, unfortunately my host “Dreamhost” had some problems and all my websites were down for a few hours ! Personally no one likes a downtime but one thing good is that Dreamhost do put up the status that the site is down so we dont bang our head in walls and spend hours figuring out if it was our mistake and how to fix it.
I have been planning to setup a home based web server, not a localhost i already have that but a real time web server which will host a website, it would be really cool and fun, so far i have done some of my homework on that.
So i ll publish what i learn and how far i go with it, here are a few nice tutorials i have found which i will use to deploy my own web server initially a windows one or if successful a Linux based webserver:
Things that i need
- A separate machine probably a P4 branded used = Rs : 8000 = $150
- A DSL always on connection which i already have 2MB = Rs : 2000 = $33
- A Fixed IP address which will be tough to get but will arrange that from ISP = Rs : 1000 = $16
- Install Linux or Windows
Tutorial on setting it up
- Installation of Linux now i am not sure of the distribution i should use anyone got a suggestion there ?
