Krewe Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Indeed you can, I don't know how it is done. However, I have a friend who made his own and uses it to host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Any computer can run web server software, such as Apache, that you can use to serve your website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Assuming that you can open your connection to the outside world and make sure that the domain name routes to your server, yes you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Don't try to sound smart, tell him you don't know how this works and ask him to teach you. The instructions depend on your networking setup and ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
