Do you mean actually buying a server or renting space on a server?

Is there a step-by-step guide I can use to set it up.

Also, can I use this to make my own website? If so, how?

Apache is a HTTP server it serve&#39;s files nothing more. YOu cannot deisgn a site in it, if thats what your asking. you&#39;ll need Frontpage or Dreamweaver or some other Web Design Package.

Things you&#39;ll need for a server.

http://www.apache.org - Will be your web server. It will serve HTTP files.

http://www.php.net - PHP Server if you want PHP scripts to be run. For instance this forum use&#39;s PHP

http://dev.mysql.com/ - MySQL server for SQL Database&#39;s. Again forums need MySQL normally.

All 3 websites have all the info you need to get them running. Dont let people fool you into using a Combined version of all 3. Ok its easier but you wont learn how to set them up properly.

They are not hard to set up anyway

If you need any help just ask, but read the FAQ&#39;s and Documentation with them and you&#39;ll pick them up.
