Server Hosting
Where can I download a Hosting server for free?
I am looking for a server that’s not going to cost an arm and a leg to download and beable to run from my computer with out to much trouble..I have some backgrounds and images that I would like to code so people could use them on neopets and my space..I know there are some free hosting servers out there I have two already but that’s not enough I need more cause I had some requests that I need to fill…any help would be great!
If your only going to Host images, http://www.photobucket.com works great, not only is it free, but also very fast and from what I can tell there aren’t any transfer limits (I have yet to hit them so far on the free account, which hosts many large images for several high-traffic myspace pages and the like)
Now, if your wanting to host your own webserver, there are a few options that are free for you.
Apache is a web-server, which has a ton of options you (and alot of others, myself included) you’ll never need, however there is a package called ‘wamp’ for windows, which will setup Apache for you, along with PHP4 and 5, and a MySQL server. Its very easy to get to working.

You’ll also need a domain for your server, http://www.dhs.org/ is free, and there are scripts and utilities out there that will automatically update your dhs entry if you have a dynamic IP address (Unless you pay specifically or a static IP address from your ISP, you have a dynamic one)
Another VERY simple web server is BabyFTP

Extremely easy to setup and use, I actually recommend it for what you want to do.
