Gene...what server software are you running?

Thanks...

HK
You mean news server?
No.

Server...as in apache or something like that.
I'm using Apache and b2evolution.....

Aha! I suspected you were. I'm thinking of converting my desktop machine
into a server, and I might want to contact you for a "tech consult."

Unless you:

1) Have a static IP OR don't mind paying for a Dynamic DNS Service

AND

2) Really *want* an extensive hobby configuring and running Apache



I'd go with one of the Web Hosting services (which also come with lots
of other perks and amenities) and let them worry with the hardware
acquisition and maintenance, software configuration, security
headaches (you'll need a dedicated IP or you'll have to open a port to
the server(s)), and up/down time.

Though I'd be glad to help.....


Yeah...I'm sure you are right.

I do have a windows home server, which I can use as a a generic server,
sort of.
