Create a Web Hosting

[AC08]

Hello Everyone.

I have a question, I want to create a Web Hosting...

So I need to buy a host to save accounts, create my domain.. but I need to buy a dedicated server or can I use my other computer to host the costumers websites.... ?

 

 

Thanks,

If we are being honest here,

 

If you need to ask these questions you probably shouldn't be hosting other peoples websites.

Don't even try. If you need to host multiple sites for people, there are specific web hosts for that already. Web hosting space is too crowded for anyone new.

I want to create that project (Web hosting) to my final course project...

if its just for this its probably more like a proof of concept and should never actually have real customers?

if its just for a presentation and it seems like this stuff was not part of what you have been taught in this class i would just take any not too old computer, create a vm with linux, a webserver and some other stuff like FTP installed.

 

once this vm is ready to roll you back it up so you can create more vm´s whenever needed and just drop your backup in it and its ready to roll.
