Making a web host, im not sure. You should just try searching on google for something that will help you -_^"
I think it's funny how a topic can get agreements about one thing over and over just so some people can make posts...
on your sig how it says Blitzout.com free hosting! Up to 1GB of space, and 10GB of bandwidth! well like that and google doesnt give me anything even though its a freind lol :wub:
You have to have a computer hooked up to the internet, install either Apache, or use IIS(comes with windows) and that's about as much as I know.
you need a server, a T2 connection for speed and pay $100s a month, register your server on the net (costs about $45/year), get your domain ($7/year), and point it to your server. Then create your webdesign, have at least 1 trillibyte (1,000 gb) of disk space, so you can host accounts, load cpanel, php, mysql, which also costs money... It's expensive. get a reseller account or something..
Terrabyte oh and get a smart FTP server that can regulate the Ammount of space uploaded and sell adspace to make back some of the money (or charge ppl for betterhosting or hosting at all)
