Configure a webserver at home suggestions please

I post this in the forum of "Server" If there was a.

I am curious about the implementation and hosting my own websites from home using my Mac Mini.  I thought to buy Mac OS X Server and uses that to configure things but a knowledge threw a key to monkey in my thoughts when she mentioned to my internet connection at home probably used what is called a "dynamic IP address", and not a static address, and because of that, it would be virtually impossible for foreigners to access my site.

I thought I could ask the question here and get some good answers or advice.  If anyone can provide me with links or advice on how to achieve this, I would be interested to hear.  I need to know how to determine if my ISP is the allocation address dynamic or if I have a static address.  I also need to know if it is true that hosting a public web site will not work if I have dynamic IP addresses, and if there is nothing around that runs from pay a fortune to get a static IP address.  Finally, if things are that I can host my site here, I would like to know if OS X Server is the way to go, or if there are other recommended packages. Recommended reading is also useful.

I am completely ignorant on the IP address as well as implementation aspect and administer my own site (I can create the site while I did this before and downloaded to a hosting service).

Thanks for any help creative!

OS X Server

There is a software that updates DNS servers to your changing address. search for DynDNS.

Your maybnot of Internet service providers allow you to host a server on a basic internet service. They probably won't sue if you have little traffic, but if you make money on it or that your traffic is high, they might cut you.

  • Illustrator cs6 keyboard shortcut to hide (ctrl + 3) has stopped working. Any suggestions please?

    I am a user of PC running Windows 7, and for some shortcut keyboard of reason to hide (ctrl + 3 and ctrl + alt + 3) in Illustrator cs6 has stopped working. Using the drop down menu to hide and display all objects works fine. All other keyboard shortcuts seem to work. Any suggestions please?

    Hi husbands,

    You may need to compare agaianst you integrated Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts, as there could be a conflict. Otherwise, I would do the following: -.

    1. go to Edition > keyboard shortcuts

    2. in the dialogue window, you will see a drop-down list labeled default Illustrator with a next button. Click on the button and create your own game.

    3. change the drop-down list labeled tools for Menu commands

    4 Twril Down the Menu object and locate hide them, you'll need this spin down as

    5. click on the X with the hotkey, then with the small empty field selected, choose your own combination of keys. You can be notified that the combination is used by another shortcut, you can work around this.

    I hope this helps.

    See you soon

    Comments, Suggestions please?

    If I cut costs some I can put that to another monitor, or maybe

    An adobe-specific keyboard edition.  I don't want to sacrifice a lot of performance either.

    Looks good for the budget, but choose the unlocked version of the 3770, which means the 3770K version, because it can more easily be overclocked. It saves money and offers more flexibility for the future.

  • Carbon X 1-Suggestions please - i5 with 8 GB GOLD I have 7 with 4 GB?

    Hello

    I'm stuck on the specifications to purchase. I wish X 1 can come with i7 with 8 GB of ram = / but I can't wait until this generation comes out because of the school from 3 weeks.

    Things that I do every day are:

    I plan to do the usual Microsoft Word, Excel, powerpoint, and Outlook... Browse a lot and check emails... watching movies... and intend to run QTP (Quick Test Professional) a HP tool used to create scripts and automate.

    I'm stuck on which build to get, can someone please give me suggestions and why?

    Thank you very much

    Alex

    Yep! It is a fairly expensive machine, costwise.

    Sorry, but I have no idea when, or even if, a variant of i7/8 GB may be available. everything I say would only repeat what has already advanced... and still it would be only speculation.

    Cheers.
