Re: Your own web server for free !
 

yes i would also recommend web-mania.com

simple, reliable fats hosting for £20 a year.

my friend also offers great hosting at www.woodhornhosting.co.uk

Basic package, £10 a year

here is my website- www.34u.org
Jointly owned with another guy. we both coded it. Check it out!!

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

also, stuart,

isused your ideas, but modified them slightly-
used my own domain ( www.peepsnet.net and www.andymt.co.uk )
edited the DNS Zone to point to my static ip
Downloaded Apache software for windows, its the best as it can run php
built a website! Take a look. (it might not be online very much, but i will leave it on this morning for a while!

I have a few downloads, but will be faster with the upcoming telewest upgrades (then i will have 384kbps upload speed)

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Do Telewest allow this with their standard broadband package? As i've heard that some ISPs frown on you hosting your own server.

I can't find any info about it on their website.

Thank you in advance:)

Re: Your own web server for free ! rebol serve-it
 

im suprised that noones ever mentioned using rebol for a bit of fun
web hosting, bbs system, blogger, many other things and its totally
small and portable across OS's too.

its a shame that ntlworld dont allow cgi scripts
as i'd love to put rebol and the bbs/blogger scripts
directly on the serverside webspace we get.

get both rebol/view and rebol/core for your OS
http://www.rebol.com/download.html

go here http://www.tgd-consulting.de/Download.html and get
Serve-It!

here for the bbs (click the download script at the top
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...bbs.r#reb-over

and here for the blogger http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap...ipt=new-blog.r

heres several rebol scripts including the original Wiki/Weblog app
vanilla http://www.rebol.net/solutions.html
and many more advanced scripts/apps.

http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/blog.r?index=0
http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/rbbs.r
http://www.rebol.com/docs/cgi-bbs.html :o:

the serve-it is dead easy to setup within 2 mins
and just copy it to any dir and run.

it struggles a bit with serving some avi's to VLC
mostly H264/AVC/mpeg4part10 but still a cool
few minutes playing around.

if you want to play a little more with the vast
possibilitys of both the core and the GUI view rebol
try out this Rebol Programming For The Absolute Beginner

for some instant WOW thats good stuff....................

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but when I had slightly decent upload I used to run "Wamp" webserver with MYSQL and PHP with it, Was VERY VERY relieable even on a P3 500Mhz machine.

I don't use any servers now as on a crappy upload :(

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Another one you could use is EasyPHP its Apache/mySQL

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

I run the website www.abyssunderground.co.uk, its the official help website for Abyss Web Server for those who want to use it. Ive been around these forums for a while and only just noticed this thread.

Good luck to all those who decide to use it. You can get professional help on setting it up on www.aprelium.com/forum if you dont get the answers you need here.

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

EasyPHP is good, but WAMP is far better, so easy to configure.

http://www.en.wampserver.com/

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Yeh Wamp is pretty good for testing stuff before it goes online, but nothing can beat a Linux test server for testing sites to be uploaded to a Linux server for problems that can crop up because of the differences how PHP reacts between to 2 OS's

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

anyone use jamroll for hosting? if so how do you find them?

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Hi all. have got space on my mates web server.. but can't upload my www.simplemachinesfoum.org

php stuff to it . and get the permissions to work..

can anybody help.

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

What exactly are you asking? :confused:

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Best person to ask is your mate. Its his server.

Re: Your own web server for free !
 

Another one for the WAMP list here :)

check the readme - tells you which files need CHMOD'ing :) that was my problem, the server may be running linux which needs chmod'ing windows doesnt.

Wamp5 = quick, painless, easy, and no need for "4 or 5" machines like stated before... Mine runs wamp5- ability mail server (soon to be kerio6), my "intranet" - sql, php, all the perl scripts etc. AND runs Folding@Home @ 40% cpu usage - along with BulletProof FTP running- and normally Newsleecher & QuickPar- far from being a dedicated server - but it does the job, used mainly for mp3/video/flash movie streaming over network. along with NOD32 running in background :) does more but i cba to type :D

On an Amd Skt A 2400+,
Win server 2003,
768mb ram
not enough storage

IIS is useful - but not as easy to use as apache (apache being wamp5- not installing it yourself) :P
