Make webhost
Hi everybody out there.
I'm learning PHP and MySQL at the moment, but I'm getting tired of all those webhosts who dissappear after a few weeks... That's why I decided to make a 'own' webhost. I have an old computer, 'fixed' it a bit, but now I want to make it into a real server... At the moment, it's using WAMP (windows xp pro / apache 2 / mysql 5 /php 5 ). Now, the real job. 1. Should I install another OS? I guess y'all say linux, but can you say which one, where to download, how to install? (P.S. It should have GUI) 2. Which (free / opensource) control panel can I use? I can look like DirectAdmin, Cpanel, ... Where to download, how to install, how to use? And is it automated? I know what you'll say first : It isn't smart to turn an old unreliable PC into a webhost. I know, I shouldn't do this, but I know what I'm doing. Actually, this is a kind of 'practice' to learn how to manage real servers... The webhost will be used by me and some friends, just to 'play'. Then you'll say : don't use a GUI for a server. I know, but I know what I'm doing. I also want to use this old PC to simply surf on the internet, check e-mail, etc. ... Then you'll say : it isn't smart to surf on the internet and to check e-mail with a server. I know, but I'm sure that I want this... So is there anyone who can say, directly to the point, what should I do? |
