What kind of server?
HTTP
FTP
Gaming Server
etc.

If you are talking about a HTTP server. Then i suggest DevSide.net server which has:

Apache 2
PHP 4.3.1
MySQL 4.11
PhPMyAdmin
Perl 5.8.1

You install it like any other program, no knowledge needed. Once it's installed, you have nothing to care about, everything runs as services.

I reccomend WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Easiest to setup. Good luck with it.

Ok I was reading over this, and I got the WAMP. So now what, I am not sure how to work it so I can host my site. I am wanting to do the same as Eternex.

Thanks

In order to host your site form your own computer, then make sure you have a good broadband connection.

Also you'll have to have a static ip address, most webhosts provide you with a dynamic ip address, whcih means it changes every time you connect to the internet.

There are companys out there that can provide you with a free static ip address, such as no-ip.com.

Also I have tried setting it up so I can host my own website of my PC, but I never got it to work. It can be a pain as you have to set your firewall to accept incomming connections to port 80 also use port forwarding on you router if you have one.

Ok I am in the same spot, but I dont think that my firewall is stopping it? I have an account at no-ip.com but now I am not sure what to do??
