yea so i realized bandwidth is going to be OUTRAGEOUS for my appliance website. So far i went over the limit in 10 minutes and took out my friends 500mb transfer limit (he had 483MB left) within 2 hours. 2 friggen videos!! 1 is 1.6mb, the other is 1.8mb.
keep in mind, my graphics are no longer a pain, i discovered photoshop and the save for web (stayed up til 4am learning web tutorials)
i wasnt surprised the geocities went down, but the freewebs went down FAST IMO.
So i started thinking, how hard would it be to setup a webserver in my bedroom?
I was thinking about using parts from my dually that i killed, however i need RELIABLE. So i was thinking maybe a used server from ebay/some auction
Of corse the OS will be linux, probably red hat.
Now for DSL, im assuming either A. get a second DSL/Cable line or upgrade my dsl to a higher bandwidth?
And finally, any way to make any kind of profit off of this? i was thinking host for friends for a small fee, nothing outrageous. how do those guys out there make all kindsa cash owning sites?
Im a newb to the internet, but i might as well learn it. funny how something so simple is so coveted. My gf reminded me "But people buy those 2 hour DVDs of people crashing into things" so i guess this isnt too much different.
