Server using my pc

[NEO]

Could some tell me How I could run my own server using my PC.

I know you need broadband

what else would i need.

& how would i set it up. e.g:

would i have to pay someone else for a domain name or can i set one up for free using my server on windows 2000

how could internet users set up there account for webhost e.g 50 MB of webspace for £££ a year.

would i have to pay anyone anything for my server being online for visitors to view ??

Im totaly in the dark on this one, I hope someone can help me out.

I have not got my own server yet, but im thinking about it, because if I can charge users for web space then, it would be worth buying a faster PC with broadband and windows 2000 server.

Thanks.

i would suggest looking into dedicated hosting at a reliable provider if you plan on becoming a host.
