How do I build a server for my own computer? Newbie here with server issue...

[stingbandel]

Hi, I am just wondering how to build a server. If it's not hard, I am thinking to make my comp. as a server. Currently my comp. spec is Celeron 433, 256 SDRam, Dual OS Win ME and Win 2000. So can somebody explain real specific how to build a server? I am really curious about that. Thanks in advance..

I am thinking to serve my site on my own server. Is that possible??? pardon me if my question seems stupid but I am really newbie with server.

Your system config is fine for an entry level server.

You just need to load a server os (win2k Server or linux) and configure the webserver to get it up and running.

Can I use Win ME or Win 2K Pro for the server OS? Thanks

I wouldn't recommend that you use those OSs. They are not geared towards the demands of a server. There is no "built-in" webserver in Win9x or Me. Win2k Pro has limitations as to the number of connections, so WinNT Server, or Win2k Server is the way to go.

Ok then. I will install Win 2K server for it. Thanks guys
