Host from home how come you guys suggest Exabytes and all those online hosting website? doh.gif

Install XAMPP, get a dynamic dns domain and you're good to go. It's free anyway. Good to explore around and get familiarize with those basic web hosting tools.

I used to host like you, host a forum at home. laugh.gif

Last time I used 1MB with crawling 384kbps upload speed. If accommodate more than 3 users already slow liao for my friends (You're not affected because technically you're visiting your own comp, so is fast).

PC requirement - last time I host with Pentium 4. Now time has changed. I guess any CPU above P4 is good enough. laugh.gif

Security? I think XAMPP will solve it for you. Also, who want to hack your website when you suka suka can switch on/off? laugh.gif
