I want to start my own web site on my own server! Nothing big, more of a personal site. I have a bunch of parts laying around that I want to use for the server. I'm looking for a book a or a web site that I can learn how to do all of these things from. Also, what type of software would be recommended to use a for the web site that I hope to some day build!?

You guys are a bunch of asses (exception of hotchilisauce and ActuaryTim). MatrixVPR, to explain why these people are being pricks is because your question covers such a broad range of info, and you posted it in the Off Topic forum. I would suggest another forum here on Anandtech, or even another forum elsewhere that specializes in the info you request (where this would be, I don't know).

Starting your own server and website is not hard at all, but it does require a bit of internet know-how and terminology. Just be patient, and you'll get it.

I'm not being a hypocrite. I basically commented on the absolute lack of friendliness you provided to a new member of these boards. With 35,000 posts, I'd think you would've learned by now to skip over threads like these that piss you off so much, and go on to the next one.

If you can answer the man's question, then do so. If not, why be an ass? Why be hateful when referring to google? All you had to post was to go to google - the ULTIMATE serach engine and question-answering internet tool.

I'm a crotchety old man already. Damn whipper snappers don't pay attention. They're all morons. Back in my day, we got mauled with hot coals for making a mistake. I'm surprised I even posted a link to google since he's already shown his lack of willingness to do any work himself. I guess it was just to make up for being a butthead at the same time. :p

The only helpful post in this thread.

Check out DSLWebServer.com which shows you step-by-step how to host your sites from home.

Wow. One of the few friendly posts here. And you're one of the old-timers too, no less.
(I was kinda wondering the same thing as the OP, that's why I'm commenting)
Now wonder you are the Grand Nagus :thumbsup:

I used to do this on my own and it works very well if you set it up right for personal usage. On two occasions, RossMAN in threads asked me who I'm hosted with because my pages loaded quickly. I don't want to dig up those threads, just take my word for it ;)

I'm really tired so I won't explain a lot right now, but if you need any help, information, or advice, feel free to PM me
