Yes, on your own computer! Download a webserver application and set it up, then go to one of the free subdomain name locations on the 'net and set one up.

After that, you have your own free website with tons of space that you can put anything on and have full control over. Another upside is that your site will have no ads! Unless you want to put them there to make money, that is.

If you have a decent computer you don't mind leaving on all day every day; fast, unlimited 'net access; and you want to put up a few dollars per year you can put of a great website that you can be proud of.

Like http://www.no-ip.com (my preference) or http://dyndns.org, for example.

Hosting your own server is an educational experience, but it may not be convenient for many people; reliable uptime can be hard to maintain in a home environment.

Hostultra isn't so great either, and if you're running on IE and go to a hostultra site without a popup blocker it can give you some pretty big problems.

I can attest to that. I run scoobsoft.com from my home PC. I used to run it on an old 500mhz dell, but I have been having troubles with getting a good file sharing system up (smb has been a real pain, no luck with FTP), so scoobsoft is running off my main PC, which gets restarted quite a bit, showdown at night from time to time, and put into windows on occation. So it is down about 1/3 of the time. It is convenent to be able to save directly to my site, no need for uploading. Thats why I want smb, you can mount smb shares in linux, and browse to them in windows, so no uploading, just direct saving.

You could try Appserv Network, it dows all the insatlling and setting up. All you need to do is save your files to the right directory.

There you go.

Google is good for getting links.

And if you wanna host peoples sites they will need FTP accses.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html sets up Apache, PHP , SQL, SQLite, FTP and a mail server + more.

Note the word "free".

Also, promoting your own business by insulting the competition is not a very good marketing strategy. Neither is forgetting to use punctuation and Misusing Capitalisation.

Not to mention that your server-running skills don't exactly appear to be stellar...

i'd suggest (if you are running windows) the link to apachefriends that Smoke made. also, if you want to 'roll your own' try out the BadBlue webserver at http://badblue.com.

WebAmpIT is my dear server bundle of joy. It's made to be extremely easy to set up and manage (much easier than anything else IMO). Check it out:

So you expect your customers to pay you AND do all the work of managing a server, because you're not capable of doing so?

Forgive me if I don't purchase anything from you.

I had nothing but complications with the program, I can spend hours trying to find out how to allow anyone other then the local host to view the pages.

They have both worked for me. But then agin, some people can set cURL up on Xampp without any trouble, I follow their instrictions and it wont work for me.

AppServNetwork is really simple to use, Ive only had one problem with it. And that was because I messed up the httpd.conf file while editing it.
