I have read about having your server running from your pc. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Just a push in the right direction for more information would be helpful. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

It is possible as far as:
1- You have an ultra high speed internet access
2- Your ISP doesn't block incoming ports.(Port 80 for web [mandatory] and 53 for DNS [optional] )
3- You have at least one static valid IP address.(You may need two or more for DNS if you want to do it yourself)

Then you should install a web server on your PC.
There are different options to be used as web server and it depends on your operating system.

Windows' web server is IIS (Internet Information Server) that you can find in additional windows components.(NT, 2000, XP)

Apache is another webserver mostly used for Linux (However the windows version also exists) and the good point is that It's Free.


After you installed the web server, you have two options:

1- Using a third party Custom DNS service.
2- Run your own DNS server.

What is DNS ?
Domain Name Service (or System or Server)

What does it do?
Resolving name to IP address.

for example www.yoursitename.com to 208.113.148.21 that is a routable address.

In this term, I will try to find some articles for you.
