[QUOTE="xstep, post: 446353, member: 11647"] Hosting from a home computer is easy. There are two problems. First, many or most service agreements with your internet connection provider disallow running services such as a web server. At least in the US. In some cases they actually block some common port numbers. Second is an issue of bandwidth in that if your web site gets popular, the connection will be too slow to support many people. Also note that you may not be able to get a fixed IP address, so you have to adjust that issue with possible connection consequences. None of the above stopped me from creating a private server at my residence. My main use for it was to post pictures and video for family and friends to see. I also placed some documention on it so I could always find it. The system also had other duties. [/QUOTE]
