What are ideal specifications for a web hosting computer?
Hi. I’m planning on buying a cheap but decent laptop that I can use to make my own Web Hosting servers. What are ideal specifications for a computer that I will use for this? Cpu, Memory, all that stuff. I’m probably gonna use linux to host the server.
Please take note I am asking the specifications for a webhosting COMPUTER. Not a webhost for my own website. I want to make my own webhosting company.
basicly you just need internet connection and OS. hosting server will be handled by hosting company

first of all you’re computer (what i think it should have for running smoothly) is about 3-4 gig ddr3 or ddr4 ram probably anything in between a Pentium 4 to a DUO Quad core possessor a motherboard that can handle all of that and then some and a fast internet connection plus if you are a gamer a diamond radeon hd video card

trust me when i tell you you don’t want to host a web server on a laptop because then you rely on that specific laptop being on all the time and not being effected by anything else running on it. What you want is a cheap shared host like the onles at host gator
if you follow this link http://tinyurl.com/dxahpk and enter the code wordpress when you sign up you’ll get your first month for a penny

If you want to be your own webhost, you should sign up with a reseller of hosting services. If you’re running on a laptop and it goes down, you’re screwed – best to go with a provider that takes care of backups, has backup electricity, redundant connections, etc. Otherwise, you’re bound to have pissed off customers.
If you’re looking for sources for comparing webhosts, there are plenty of them. Here’s just a few:

I in the past few minutes sent this post to a bunch of my contacts as I go along with nearly all of what you?re saying here and the way you?ve wrote it is great. I too write from time to time on this topic. In detail, here?s an expert from my most current web article?
