Hello,

What exactly do you mean by internet host? You want to set up a hosting company, host your own website, provide services over the internet? Please be more specific if you want a dedicated and complete answer.

Kind regards,

Hello.
Thank you.
Yes i want make my own web server.
what should i do? what tools i need?


Thanks.

I would suggest looking into
LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP), and a VPS (Virtual Private Server) to put it on..

After that, you will probably want to look into securing each of the services you run, as well as firewalling it.

Hello,

First of all you'll have to make choices like for example will you invest in your own hardware or get a VPS as indicated by fukawi1. Next you'll need to look at the 'load' your website needs to be able to handle.

If you go with a good VPS, you'll get a fixed IP (or share one), DNS access, and ease of installation/configuration. On the other hand if you have your own hardware you'll need to take care of those things by asking your provider for a fixed IP (pricy) and host your domain name with a company that gives you DNS acces or does the config for you.

Needless to say that if you depend on external companies (VPS, internet provider, ...) make sure they give good support. Paying a few dollars extra for good support is never lost if you don't have the necessary experience.

If you expect heavy traffic, then you'd have to invest in more resources (memory, bandwidth, ...). If you start with a VPS then you could start with a minimum and buy resources as you need them. Depending on what your website needs, you'll need PHP, MySQL. Try to limit the installed services to a strict minimum, only what's needed should be installed. The simpler your installation, the easier to administer. And most important of all: invest the maximum time in securing your server. You wouldn't want your server to crash one week after being alive.

Those are some of the basics you'll have to think about. There are a lot of guides on the internet on how to set up a webserver, secure it, and so on.

Kind regards,

Eric
