Server

[Xero Grid]

I haven't used my server for webhosting (yet), but I use SME Server on my rinky-dink machine. You can basically take any piece of crap machine and turn it into a server by installing *nix which is more reliable and requires less maintenance or installing Windows Server for all your virus vulnerability needs . But of course, the better the machine, the better the speed, uptime, ect. But, I've seen SME run on real pieces of crap and work well. It's non-graphical by the way.

or setting up one at home.

apache will do it.

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. [/b][/quote]
So if I use Frontpage or Dreamweaver I can make my own webhost and run my own website?

Yep

but don&#39;t forget your PC would need to be on 24/7 and you would need a preety good internet connection.

A good connection meas one that is always on AND has a good UPLOAD speed.
if you want an FTP server, BulletProof FTP server is supposd to be good.

You can use whatever OS you want

win xp has IIS 5
win 2003 has IIS 6
most *nix distros use apache

Yea, you can use any OS. But IMO Server 2003 is more secure.
