Website Hosting

[Marius24]

Is there any software that would allow me to host my own website from my home pc, i am wanting to use mainly php.

I hate these crappy free webhosters with there banners and crap so i want to do it myself.

And NO im not gonna pay for a webhost

Could anyone recommend any porgrams that can do this??

You could use No-IP.Org's service and then install Apache for PHP on your server.

Yup No-IP is the best one of Them all. I use it, no problem whatsoever.
And only takes a minute or two to setup.

im not sure i understand but. . .
i think port 9999 is the default admin ConsolePort, and is password protected, you should have the listening port 80 unless you want people to use a different port, 80 is the default port when you open a website from a browser to "view" the webpages
like when you connect to say http://www.google.com you're actually connecting to http://www.google.com:80
if you forgot your password or messed up your settings you can edit abyss.conf in notepad

PS You might want to use a different admin port now

Your IP is what ipconfig /all at a command prompt says it is, not what some website sees. If you have a good firewall with stealth enabled, the site will only see your ISP's proxy. Also, you don't need to install programs to run a webserver, it is included in every build of windows starting at least with win95. In any NT/XP system, just install frontpage and IIS and configure it to use the PHP extensions.
