XP web hosting?

Question

i set up a domain and it is darkapec.com (if you wanted to check it out). the problem is it is with Office Live and they only allow 500mb of storage on the Basic account. i talked to some other educated people and they said IIS could host the website (internet information services) i have got a redirection to work (and that is http://75.100.152.208:1500/tsweb/), but i dont know how to set it up to host the websites files. (i dont want to use any other service to host my website) so if you know a program that i can use to use MY computer to host stuff on my site or a way to setup IIS to host the site that would be great.
Thank you

Answer 1

If you use XP pro you can use IIS to host it, though it will limit you to 2 or 3 users at a time. XP Home won't support it. You could use Apache though (apache can run on windows too) and not be limited by users. You'll want to research what all you want to do with the site and decide if you need microsoft based or not.



If you use IIS, all you need to do from there is start the Default web site, put your files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot, and be sure if you're running a router or firewall that port 80 is opened and reaching your server.
