After a couple of years of hosting my sites with various service providers I decided that I would try hosting them from my home server. One of the main factors is that it works out to be a fair amount cheaper, another was that I thought that it would a bit educational. I figured that my home server was on all the time so why not.
There is a stack of information out there on how to do it, so I won’t waste my time by rehashing.
The setup at as follows;
Windows 2003 Server
Dynamic DNS – http://www.dyndns.com/
Web Server – Apache 2
Mail Server – hMailServer
FTP Server – Trying FileZilla but not convinced yet so may change
PHP 5
MYSQL 5
WordPress
