How do you host a website? Is there a way, if I wanted to, to host websites of my computer? And where does bandwith come from?

Win a free domain, you only need to complete a few offers. I am amazed to, you can get .com, .org, .biz, .net, and others for 9.95 points. While for 4 points you can get a .info domain. It's even better than ezyrewards.
Before I had to switch to dial up, man I miss these speeds.
Use a balanced LAMP setup with Red Hat or Fedora (L - Linux) the latest Apache (A), MySQL (M) and PHP (P) (LAMP)
Bandwith, if you're hosting it on your computer, comes from your connection.
Edit: Forgot some:
LAMP. (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.)
MARS. (MySQL, Apache, Rails, Solaris.)
PAID. (PostgreSQL, Apache, Internet, Django)
Edit: And here's how to set up LAMP with CentOS: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.3
I'll find you some more links...

you will need at least a T1 connection, as something like DSL or slower is not quick enough.
Plus ISP's will fine u if they find out, you need to have agreed to the TOS.
Hope this helps
DSL is plenty fast enough if you open up port 80 and have 30kb/s or higher upstream since HTTP generally uses 4-7kb/s when viewing a document.Originally Posted by James
Also, it's according to who the ISP is. My ISP says it's fine, you'll have to check with them.
Them being yours.

I have DSL with Bellsouth. But can you tell me a bit more? Like must you need apache, etc. Because my dad has a server computer, thats just laying there, gathering dust, and I want to put it to good use.
Sorry, didnt see your post under mine, Dewayne.
EDIT2: How about if the server computer is a Windows? Would it be WAMP?

Depends on what version of Windows it has running on it.
There are versions of Apache, MySQL and PHP which run on Windows, albeit unoptimized. If you are planning on running a full site with many visitors then I wouldn't recommend trying to host it yourself. Remeber, when someone is viewing your site, your internet connection will be slowed.
If your dad's machine is kinda old, you may want to look into making it a LAN file server instead. That way, you'll still get to use it, but you'll be the only one and it'll save your internet connection. I have a file server running on my network running Ubuntu which I use to backup important documents from my 3 other computers.

I see, no, it was purchased a two months ago. Let me ask a question, I have 100 MB DSL, right, so, if 1 visitor uses 1 MB, and there are 101 visitors, what will happen?

I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
