home hosted site?

is there any way to host a web site from your home

 

well i have a 24/7 computer and the bandwith (i already host a game server from home) but how would i go about doing so? is there a program i could use or what?

 

Well if your going to host files you flat out dont have the bandwidth, a T-1 is low bandwidth for file hosting. Just hosting a page youll be fine, if this is just a page for the game server stats or whatever, your hardly gonna get hits so its wont matter. First thing is what O/S is it? If your running windows your gonna have to get the CD and install Internet Information Services, Google how to setup a website with it. Next if your behind a router or NAT your going to need to forward Port 80 to your local computers IP address, which needs to be static(ill assume it is since your hosting a game server). Assuming your ISP doesnt have port 80 Incoming requests blocked, you will now be able to get to the web page you set up using http://myipaddress if iis is set up correctly (this is from the outside world, from your own computer youll need your local ip or 127.0.0.1)

and if you want a domain like www.majorgeeks.com youll need to register a name and point it to your IP.
