Home PC For Co-lo
Apr 4, 2007i was just wondering can we build our own pc and send it to a data center?
I was planning on just building a cheap pc with maybe an xp3000+, 512mb of ram and stack in 2TB worth of HDD space on it, then just pay for the rack space and the b/w
But, is this possible, is a normal midi tower case to big for this?
Home Server ...
Apr 16, 2008I understand the risks of not using a datacenter, but for a smallish site to which uptime isn't key, is it possible to get server-quality bandwidth to my house? (No I don't mean like Gigabit, I mean like upwards of 5mbps)? I'd really like to maintain my own server (probably build one).
I live in Milwaukee, so colocation is, AFAIK, out. And while I can save up for and buy a computer every few years, I cannot sustain $80/month. (I am a middle school student. My income isn't exactly regular.)
So the question... can I get an ISP to let me run a server at decent speeds out of my house? Would its costs exceed colocation or that of a dedicated server?
Home Web Server
Mar 15, 2009I have a spare machine which is fairly fast, i like to know what are the steps to make a web server from home that actually works well, i have a static IP and a fast internet too.
Which operating system works better and any guide to a step by step setup.

Snort On A Home LAN
Aug 8, 2008to replace the current router/firewall/gateway on my home LAN with a lower-end PC running pfSense. (A FreeBSD-based distro with a web GUI for managing pf and the like.)
Since the system will be passing all the network traffic anyway, I'm interested in the possibility of having it watch for anything suspicious. Snort is the obvious choice: I want it to spot incoming/outgoing suspicious network activity.
What I wonder, though, is if there is really a lot of benefit to running this on a home LAN? If it was a big corporate network, I could see wanting it to keep an eye on things, but we only have a handful of machines, and they're all pretty secure.
It'd be running on a ~1 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM... Given that the machine would already be acting as firewall/router, caching DNS server, and running PHP/Apache for the management interface / graph generation, is piling Snort on top of that asking for trouble?
Home Web Server
Feb 23, 2008I'm just wondering what the practicalities and problems might be in setting up a web server from home. At the moment we have a 2Mb cable connection but our provider offers a 20Mb connection.
Would it be possible to set up a small hosting business from home with such a connection?

Jul 20, 2007I have a home network as described bellow on the picture (It's in Portuguese but I guess you'll manage to understand it).
My Network Scheme
[url]
I have a domain (let's say abc.com) hosted in AFRAID which is updated by my router since
I have a dynamic IP. I want to have different sub-domains redirected to different computers, for example:[url]redirects to my Desktop computer
[url]redirects to my Laptop 1
My Linksys WRT54GL Router is running Tomato firmware and my Fonera Router is running DD-WRT firmware.
Since I do NOT have a static IP is it possible to make this?
Web Hosting From Home
Jun 21, 2007I already have a web server hosting around 70 web sites with FastHosts who charge me around £350 per month. I am a one man band and looking to cut monthly costs. On my web server with FastHosts, I have around 6 IP addresses all used for specific purposes such as SSL and public web sites and all works just fine.
I have just purchased a fast 8mb BT Network Business broadband connection at home along with 13 static IP addresses and built an office on my land that is secure. I want to host my own servers here on the premises that gives my clients the same services they currently get but without me having to pay £350 per month.
BT now tell me that the router they provided cannot route more than 1 IP address to the same machine. The router can only route 1 IP address to 1 PC. This means to achive what I already have would mean purchasing several servers and hosting clients web sites on an individual server.
I have a Windows 2003 server that I know can host all the sites I need including secure and public from one machine. I also know that each secure web site requires it's own IP address and I have those from BT.
Have you any ideas if there are any routers out there that work on broadband connections that can forward more than 1 IP address to the same computer and still work just fine with the BT set-up that I have?
Anyone Home At RazorServers
Nov 6, 2007I'm thinking about ordering a VPS from RazorServers, but haven't been able to get ahold of anyone there to answer a few simple sales questions for almost 24 hours - tried calling, the sales extension just rings and rings, their AIM and MSN contacts listed on their website aren't logged in, submitted a ticket yesterday afternoon with no response. None of this gives me much confidence that if I have problems after setup that I'll be able to get ahold of anyone.
Anybody know if this is normal for RazorServers? If so, any recommendations of other good providers of Xen VPSs in the northeast (Philadelphia, New York, Boston, etc.)?

Noexec On /home
Feb 3, 2007I set /tmp partition with noexec, but not /home do you think it's a good idea to do so?
I belive it won't break perl/php scripts (maybe just those being directly called as an executable on CRON) anyone know any cons for that?
Web Hosting @ Home
Oct 4, 2007I wanted to host a website from home and
- registered domain with godaddy.com
- created account with everydns.net and updated the nameserver information at godaddy
- My webserver is Apache Http server and I have a router between my system and ISP's modem, so i did the port forwarding and also opened the port to public. I have also used a port other than 80 because I thought my ISP might block port 80.
My problem is i can access my webpages from my home machine(server) but not from my office machine. one interesting note is my ISP is COX and i have asked my friend who also has COX to check the site and He was able to access my website.
I checked checkdnsDOTnet and nothing seem to be a problem and i have also checked the port at canyouseemeDOTorg and the port seems to be open.
I used DOT to indicate '.' , because I am not allowed to link URLs
Which OS For Home Web Server
Sep 27, 2007I am currently leasing a VPS and the kbps upload rate is below my upload rate at home, so I am going to save 50 bucks/ month and move it to home.
I plan on using an older dell desktop with 512mb ram. I would like to use this also as sorta a sync host between my laptop and desktop. I would like to be able to sync certain folders and files which would be stored on the server. I also obviously need to have ftp access, smtp (no knowledge of this area), mysql, php, etc. My big question is which OS should I use? I have fiddled around had a local copy of my site working on my main desktop in windows using apache. Should I stick with windows or would I be better served using a linux distro such as ubuntu? I currently have a static IP address at home. How do I handle the nameservers?
Another thing is how easily can I manage things like emails and subdomains?
Setting Up My Own Server At Home
Sep 30, 2009So I have designed some software for my brother who owns a business and needed a website to manage his clients and send emails to them and stuff. Right now we are using Hostmonster, which has been pretty good so far.
He was talking to me how it would be nice to be able to email the website and have the site automatically store the information in these emails into a database for information regarding his clients, which I know is possible, but not on a shared host it seems. I have tested my own email receiving script on a test server on my computer and it works fine. So we are continually finding our limits with a shared host. We have been looking into dedicated hosting, but as you all know its quite a price jump to go from $7 a month to $200+.
I got thinking and remembered that my dad has always had a business web plan from our ISP at home (cause he likes fast internet), which according to there website serves 1Mbps upload speed. We also have 2-3 old computers sitting at home that we don't use anymore (2)2ghz pentium 4 Dells and a 3.0ghz+ Pentium 4 HP. I was thinking we could probably just plug one of those into the router, forward some ports and have our own server up and running. For now we would only host this software I made for my bro, which is used by only 4 people, and that's not even at the same time usually. So there is very little load to deal with. But in the future we may put a few other sites that we have in mind which would use PHP and MySQL quite a bit.
I was just curious what some of your opinions were on creating a home server. I was looking at Ubuntu Server edition as a possibility, or XAMPP since all my machines are Windows XP. One machine doesn't work cause the hard drive is out, so if I use that I would probably have to put Ubuntu on it. Any suggestions on good server software would be great! I believe the business web plan my dad has also comes with a static IP as well, so that will help. Look forward to hearing your suggestions!

Should I Start Hosting From Home
Apr 7, 2009I've been toying with the idea of hosting from home to reduce overhead. To give you a rundown I have a pretty popular site that hosts videos and a very very large forum. The company I rent my server from now I'm starting to think is sort of a ripoff.
Current Specs
2x 2.0 dual core xeon (woodcrest)
4gb ram
6x500gb drives
8/mbps (suppose to be 10)
3000gb bandwidth
All of this comes to $917 a month.
The thing is I'm a Systems Engineer for my 9-5 anyway, so there's nothing in the hardware/OS configuration that would send me on a loop. I get especially skiddish since all of this data which is my livelyhood I don't even have physical access to, even if I wanted to do something simple like backup the video uploads directory to an external drive or something of the sort just for peace of mind.
I'm guessing my only option would be a 10mbps plan through Time Warner's business class (which I have no idea what that runs yet) then just purchase the server and UPS and just chuck it up in the office.
Setting Up Home Servers

I am using it because I got a dynamic IP
Trying To Host A Website From Home PC
May 15, 2009I am trying to host a website from my home computer. Currently I have it setup and it works and everything. I have my virus database updated, router update, firewall up and running, and I am ready for people to try hacking. But there is one thing I can do. I can't seem to get my website online. I go to whatismyip.com and try that IP address on both the computer I am hosting the website from and a different computer downtown but I can access it. I am currently using webs.com to tell people to download COMODO EasyVPN to access my website. But they have to download it first to be able to access my website. At one time I had to load it using the IP address I go to whatismyip.com but it took it six minutes to load and with the EasyVPN it only takes seconds. I am just wandering if my internet connection is just timing out and not letting anyone on. Is there a software I can use that works like COMODO EasyVPN but lets you type in my External/Public IP address and it go to my website. I mean my connection is slow but with the COMODO EasyVPN software it makes people connecting to my computer fast. I need a software that tunnels my connection to a clients computer.
I am using the XAMPP software to host my website!

Cpanel To Mess Around With At Home
Nov 14, 2008What is the easiest way to get cpanel to install on a home server to play with it? Do they have some kind of unlimited trial that limits to private class IP range or something? Would be neat to mess around with. I'd run it in a VM in the 10.1.1.x range and afaik their licensing goes by IP so if they see that IP they obviously know its not being used for a real hosting company. (well you technically could nat I suppose...)
I also though of just ordering a cpanel dedicated server to mess around with but prefer to do it at home in a VM, and possibly at no cost. Anyway this can be done (legally)?
