Ok, I want to make a website, but without paying the monthly fee of a web host.

After registering my domain, building my website, and preparing my linux server...what do i do?

How do i put all of this stuff together (domain+website+server) to make an accessible website.

I know webhosts are cheap (and some are free) But i wanna do this for my own knowledge, since i am a computer enthusiast.

Also...when it comes to the server...does processor speed and ram really matter?

AND...how do i determine the "bandwidth" after everything is set up. ( like when webhosts tell you that you have a certain "limit" of bandwidth, or however many visitors can visit your site.)

Ty in advance...

Having your own server, powering it 24/7 and maintaining it, plus the bandwidth you need, will cost MUCH more than the $4.00/mth hosting via Godaddy.com would ever cost. ~

They'll even supply you with a domain name free for 1 year.

Yep, easiest way for a very basic user, is to design your website... then drag and drop your index.html file (the main opening page of your website, into this program, which will auto host it...
