Which server is best to use (ISS, PWS, APACHE, etc) to host my own site?

Well, as you should know, each server is dedicated more to a technology - Apache is with PHP, IIS is for serious ASP devs and PWS is a waste of time. Since PHP is better than ASP (at least IMHO), setup Apache.

Well, you gotta have at least one database... otherwise what kinda site will it be? You need the database to store user info and stuff...

So, yeah, definately MySQL.

Yes it does. At least, a friend of mine set it up for my former site and i could set up multiple accounts (there was a small limit though :( ).
