Are you disgusted or disappointed with your present web host? Have you switched web hosting companies too many times? Have you thought of web hosting your own website(s)? Do you have the goal to control and manage your own internet server?

If you answered 'yes' towards the questions above, then you may be ready to host your own sites. This article will provide you with things to consider while making the switch.

When getting your own web host you should be technically likely and have basic knowledge of operating systems, understand technical terms, understand how to setup a machine environment (such as: DNS, IIS, Apache, etc . ) have basic knowledge of scripting languages and databases (PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc . ), be familiar with current technologies, and have a simple understanding of hardware and server parts.

You should realize the pros & downsides. It is one thing to say, you want to web host your own web server and it is another thing to actually do it.

Pros:

Own sense of responsibility
Awareness level raised (you are at the frontline of most server happenings)
No monthly hosting fees/accounts
Incompetence no longer exist
Non-shared environment (dedicated server)
Unlimited web sites, databases, content, storage, etc .
A lot more bandwidth
No more waiting on somebody else time
Complete control

Cons:

Exhausting at times
Faced with server/hardware problems
ISP business account (monthly business/broadband expense)
If server goes down then the web site is offline
No technical support group
Software, hardware, and network costs

There could be many more pros & negatives but I've pointed out some of the major ones. Managing a web server starts as a full time job, you must constantly monitor its performance and safety. This can sometimes be an stressful task, especially if you currently have other obligations. Though, the control you will have over your website and its performance is satisfying enough. You no longer have to wait for tech support team or approval to install a script onto the server. You can have as numerous websites and databases you want, so long as your hardware can handle it. You no longer have to go into the discussion forums plus search for the best web host or rant about how much you hate your present host. You can even begin hosting household & friends personal websites.

Think about, how technically advanced are you? Many times you do not have to be a tech guru or anything of the sort, but you should be very resourceful. You must know how to find resolutions and answers to problems, rapidly and efficiently. This means you must end up being internet savvy. Not just the average web surfer, who surfs aimlessly, but you must be the surfer who can always find what they are looking for. This is key, because with any server environment you will run into problems and finding the answers are most accomplished online, using several resources, search techniques, and motors. Sure you can hire someone to fix your problems, but as we must have learned from the "web hosting", getting someone do it for you isn't always the best option. Here is a test to see in case you are ready to find solutions. I need a solution to a Microsoft Windows 2003 Machine Event Error - "Event IDENTIFICATION: 1056" it's a DHCP Server Mistake. How would you search? Go ahead find the solution.
