[QUOTE="Rafter, post: 951641, member: 133216"] Angus, Read the guide first and foremost. If you plan to host the site at home on your server, and its a basic site such as straight html or php, and have a decent high speed connection you shouldnt have any issues. So register the site. I have used easydns for a couple of reasons: 1. They offer ddns (many providers do nowadays), so you dont need a static public IP as your isp will most likely have you on DHCP. (your ISP should be able to sell you a static IP though) 2. With the right DNS service, they offer a mail relay server, which will essentially accept all incoming mail on port 25 and relay it to you on another port such as 2525. Your mail server will than send outbound on port 2525 to the relay server, which will than forward it on port 25. 3 If your ISP blocks port 80, they can redirect port 80 to another port your server is listening on. So I would think you need Apache 2.2, PHP 5.x if you'r doing any php pages, and mysql if your site has a database backend, and a mail server such as sendmail or postfix. I prefer postfix Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any assistance. Trust me it is easier than it sounds. [/QUOTE]
