Hi, First time here just starting out. I’ve gained a lot of information from everybody who has posted and answered questions here. So here’s my first one. Does anyone Hosts their web sites from a home server. I was thinking of starting off with a lightweight home server on DSL. Anyone have any negative or positive opinions on this
I think that isn’t such a good idea. There are many reasons not to do that. Considering that if your connection goes offline your business does as well. What about DOS attacks? Load balancing? Firewall? Security? Name servers?
I’d recommend you get yourself some hosting in a datacenter. One of my hosts only charges $ 6 USD a month, it is a Linux host with PHP and MySQL DB.
