Servers?

[iLostMyXbox21]

Okay, so I want to get into networking and server hosting since I already know quite a bit of web, software, and game development, and also I know how to build computers now so now I wanna learn servers. So could someone please forward me a link to a website that explains (in detail) how they work, and how I can run one? Preferably one that will explain it simply, but also in detail?

 

I tried looking, but i can’t find anything

Please be way more specific.

 

What exactly are you looking to host? Like a web server?

There's just not enough info. Too many different kinds of servers.

Out from all the posts you've made i can easily say that you don't need a server before you know what it will be used for. A normal computer can do all these things.

However, when you move into servers your knowledge about computers equals to BS. So forget the things you know and start over. 

A game server typically want high clock speed, but also need alot of RAM.

A Web server Want high clock speed, but doesen't need too much RAM.

Either of them really need "alot" of storage. Unless you put lots of junk on it.

 

The first place you should start is make a list. Write up all the things you'd like to use the server for. And choose an opperative system. Example:

Game Server (General)

Web Server (Perhaps some dev Vhost)

Media Server?

Transcoding?

Torrent?

Torrent Tracker?

RTMP/WebRTC?

 

When you have done that it would be a good time to actually ask for advice in a forum like this.
