We are two guys, who have made a HP. We would like to publish it on our own server. We just don´t know how. Plz help.

If you wanna have your own physical server, you obviously need a server to start with

A dedicated box would be the best, an old 486 running Linux will probably do fine unless you're coutning on heavy access.
Set it up with Linux/Apache, thats free, then you need a permanent internet connection(well no not really, but not having a "real" connection for a server is a bad idea).

Thats pretty much it, I guess the internet connection part would be the hardest part, but if you have some sort of broadband connection and the provider allows servers, that problem is solved, a broadband connection will most certainly be sufficent.

Of course this is just a very quick howto, there are more details involved.

For Linux/apache stuff, have a look at these links:
Linuxdoc.org
Apache.org
Linuxnewbie.org

Or throw me a pm or mail.

We have the connection, and the server. We just need a program to publish the website.

In that case you cant go wrong with Linux/Apache, price is right, and its fairly easy to setup if you dont mind readin a few howto's.

Refer to the links in my post.

apache is good
IIS is easy - especially if you already have win2k

does win2k pro work or do you need a server version? If it does work, what are the limitations?

 

[Adrian Tung]

If I'm not mistaken, Win2K Pro works will only support 10 concurrent connections. Server or Advanced Server is the way to go, but if you have some technical know-how then Linux (with Apache) is a much cheaper alternative.

corect, win2k pro is limited to 10 simultaneous connections
