anyone setup a web page

[Thenasty]

I' m trying to setup a web page using my computer. I'm looking at Apache Web Server program and using DYDNS to re-route it to my home computer. Has anyone done soemething similar or this can't be done ?

it can be done, but i hope you have some serious bandwidth.

heh bandwidth is dependant on who you can get to visit the page , never that easy to get tons of visitors , now if your hosting tons of downloadable files , thats another matter.

I just want to put a simple page with pictures, clips, For sale, etc...all Arcade related. I know I can use Geocities, Yahoo etc.. for web pages but once your limit is meet, no one can access your page until its resets again.

Setting up a dedicated server would be an absolute pain in the ass. If you'd like I'll give you a free home on joymonkey.com, I've got 75gigs of bandwidth so I'm not really worried about going over. I can set you up an FTP account and you'd have an address something like joymonkey.com/~thenasty

or just get some hosting... do you have a domain?

i do hosting, and can help you out..maybe for a trade or something? let me know.

If you absolutely want to host it on your own machine, try Xitami. It is far easier to use and administrate than apache. It has some cool features and include remote administration. Being free is pretty cool too.

Hope it helps,
