Websites are still cool. It doesn't matter how many badly designed personal sites there are out there with questionable flash animations and animated GIFs abounding; the fact is that a website still offers you almost unlimited room for personal expression, with the added side-bonus of potentially being useful.
If you want a website badly enough, there are many service providers that will be only too willing to design the site for you, then host it on one of their servers for a monthly fee. If you have the cash, you can have a website of your own quickly and easily.
But what if you have the ideas but not the cash? Why pay someone else to host your website for you when you can easily do it yourself on the home computer over a broadband Internet connection?
In this guide, PCSTATS will explore the process of hosting a website from your home computer using a broadband Internet connection. For the sake of simplicity, we'll stick to using Microsoft's IIS (Internet Information Server) to render the site, and help you deal with the issues of dynamic IP addresses, among other potential home-based web hosting problems.
