Yeah there is a ton of BS with tons of pop-ups and other stuff...
Now I know you guys wouldn't lead me there, what do you suggest?

Please anyone!
MrMacman said:I must again ask for someone to answer my calls for some good free web hosting service.
DVW86 said:I get zero adds/popups, 20 GB of storage, MySQL, PHP, Perl, my own domain, I can upload any type of file I want, I have access to all of the configuration files, and it's all FREE. Where did I find this great deal??? It's my old G3 iMac Running 10.2.8. Like someone has already mentioned, all you need is OS X or Linux and a high speed internet connection and you have a great web server. I wouldn't want to use it for a business because I don't trust my ISP to provide an "always on" connection and the bandwidth isn't that great. Having your own server is perfect for casual/personal use, testing and development, and (in my case) practice.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the best thing about having your own web server is how much you learn as you are setting it up.

DNS... all of that jazz.
I get up to a cetain point where I can see if from my own machine, but can't get it to display outside of my machine.
Also nonnee have been any help in the past, had like 3-4 threads on self-hosting.
übergeek said:some really *(&$#(*&@$# ISPs do not want you to run web servers, so they block port 80.
mrjamin said:thats kinda impossible, since you need port 80 open just to browse the internet
...i guess they could set up some ellaborate proxy thing or something? pah! i dunno...
encro said:übergeek was correct. Some do block incoming :80 requests at their router/firewall. She probably didn't mention it because it's obvious outgoing traffic is allowed![]()
