I want to have a server at home. Mainly for few projects, blog(wordpress) and maybe other web resources. I want to have it very low power consumable, so I am thinking getting Acer Aspire Revo 3600, but I am not pro at server hardware stuff. As an desktop/mobile it is a great solution for working (not gaming). So maybe someone good at it and could advice me what machine should I get? Or its better to buy a remote server from somewhere else? Maybe there is some web page resources which could help me with this decision and other server hosting/establishing problems? :) Thank you in advance!
Arent u missplaced dynamic ip and static ip? with static ip my pc will not be reachable from outside. and with dynamic i can host watever i want at my place :) – Viaceslav D. – 2009-09-04T07:57:54.680
1Well the common definition when I say I'm on a "Static IP" broadband plan, is that my IP address on the Internet is never changed - thus people will always be able to reach me at the same number.
Conversely, Dynamic IP (which is what most people are on), their IP Address on the Internet changes regularly.
Don't get it confused with internal networks - I am referring to the IP address your ISP assign you, whether it's dynamic or static.
And you can host whatever you want at your place whether it is static or dynamic. – caliban – 2009-09-04T08:22:06.643
1And also, internally, it's better if your server is also assigned a static ip by your router, then get your router to forward all common web requests protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc) to that static ip. It is less reliable if your server is on dynamic IP. – caliban – 2009-09-04T08:24:14.033
