Guys i want to set up my own Web site with my Dell Poweredge 2590..
I would also liek to host ohter sites as well as mine ..I wont be charging for the sites to be hosted so no billing software is needed..

Could you please recommend some online guides to set up a server ..
What Software would i need ??
What OPS ??
Bandwitdh needed etc??
Hope you guys can answer some of that

Thanks

The bandwidth needed will depend on how many sites and how much traffic they receive. As for software and OS it would depend on your needs, and if you would be installing any control panels on this server, Linux or Windows, etc...

basically i want to set up about 5 website and around 1000 it per month maybe more..The web server would need PHP, MYsql and phpmyadmin ..i would also like to know how the mutilple domain hosting works ?

You should install centos, and get a cpanel license. This will allow you to manage your websites fully. cPanel makes it really easy. Runs PHP, MYsql and phpmyadmin.

As for th esetup of a server from your home. I would recommen colocating. It asures your server won't go down, much more reliable.

Thanks.
