How do I make a home based server?

Can I make a web server at home and make web sites run on it ?

  • can I make a web site to run on my home made server and log to the web site from another computer ?

  • Answer:

    First install http://www.wampserver.com/en/ next once that's running to access it from another computer just make sure you open a port in the firewall on whatever port you're serving on... typically port 80. If you want to access it from outside your network (like the internet) you need to do the firewall part and set up port forwarding on your router to forward to port 80 of your machine.

The easiest way would be installing PHPTriad, is a complete PHP development and server environment for Windows. It installs PHP, Apache, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin. If you are familiar with Linux you can install it and setup the LAMP stack. Be sure to get an external IP from your internet provider so you can access your server from the internet.
