Polraudio 122 Report post Posted June 25, 2011 I dont see a problem with it. as long as you have a good computer/internet connection to handle requests and keep it up 24/7. I would also suggest getting a domain name so people dont have to keep typing in the IP address of your network. Im not sure if those programs can handle domain names. Not sure if there's a place to input record types for the domain name. you might have to use another computer and install linux on it and use it as a server.

There's actually alot to consider when deciding to make your computer a webserver. Are you going to keep your PC on 24/7? Do you have a domain registered to your name (if you need a free one then use http://co.cc ) do you have good upload speeds? (not download) do you have a good firewall installed? Do you know how to port forward? Personally I don't recommend using a home PC for a web server. Is it possible to host a webserver on a windows machine? yes is it recommended? no... No NO! If you want a good recommendation for a good hosting company, I have a really nice one that does customizable plans :) I host a few sites myself so yeah....
