Hi

I currently want to run a server on my laptop (powerbook). I own the domain name www.kevindega.com and want to host it of my computer.
How do i do this? or what software do i need to get to achieve this. Reason being is that my site is relatively big and if i host a package through someone else, its going to get expensive. I have been having trouble finding a step by step procedure in doing this.

Thanks

The last place you want to host a site is on a laptop, though. They're not designed for 24/7 availabilty, so either they need to sleep and the site goes down, or they don't, and the component life goes down.

It might be better to look at investing in a G3 iMac, or even a Beige G3 (which is what I use), as a dedicated server machine, and use the PowerBook for development.
