How do i host my own web server?

There are few things you need to have this done. 1. You need a computer with a "Web Server" software running on it. The easiest option would be to use IIS which is part of Microsoft Windows itself (Windows XP Professional or higher). There are other freely available Web Servers like Apache etc. 2. You need to have an external IP address, which means, your computer should be reachable from the internet. Normally when you connect to internet using dial-up/DSL/Cable you don't have an external IP address. You would need to get this from your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and pay for it. 3. If you need your site(s) to be reachable by a friendly name like http://www.yahoo.com you would need to buy an unused domain name as well. This could be done from sites like http://www.register.com. Once you are done with this, you will need to host your website using the Web Server that you are using. I could get into details of this as well, at least for IIS (Internet Information Services, the windows web server).
