Just curiousity,how to set up my own computer as server to host my own web site?
Where i can buy server to host my own web site ?
What you need to run a website on your computer is a web server. If you are using a version of windows that is not a home edition, IIS (Internet Information Services) is probably available. Just search for IIS in windows help.
If you would like a more open source version of a web server I would recommend using Apache. You can run this on windows, Linux, Mac, ...
Goto http://www.apache.org
You can download the latest version at http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
and you should be able to find lots of references on the web to configure an Apache server.
If you want to host a website and have others see it on the World Wide Web, you also need a domain name and a static IP address. You should be able to get an IP address from your ISP (if you are using cable, you probably already have one).
You can register a domain with a large number of domain registrar's, but I always recommend Netfirms (http://www.netfirms.com)

All you need to get started is a FIXED IP from your service provider and you could use the computer your on now.
