Hi,
 
I hope that you can help me, I'm interested in doing some hosting from home, my home page, and the such like, I have a dial up connection and access to an ADSL (asynchronous digital subscriber line / loop) which connects throu a simple router... I also have an HP netserver, an alot of interest in the area of the internet, I've read all those pages which say how easy it is to host and how simple the process is, I was just wondering what I actually need to do...
 
I know that I need to install an OS on the server, It had NT on it (by default) but I've put LINUX on it as I thought that was what I needed, but now I've discovered you...
 
What I want is to host either one or more domains for my home site, and to have a mail server and an FTP server, I understand that I can do all of this in this one machine, I also think that I can get my DNS done by dynip is this so? I want all these servers so that I can have POP3 mail, and be able to update my homepage from work, and to easily move large files from work to home and back again(FTP).
 
Is your OS the one to use, and if so what do I neeed to install, or is it all there, How do I configure it as a www server, a mail server, and an FTP server. Alos should I be woried about security and hacking?
 
Thanks for your help in advance,
 
Robin
