If you run FreeBSD and apache, you're not too far from hosting yourself. You need a 24/7 connection to the Internet. A static IP is nice, but not necessary any longer, although I prefer it.
My philosophy is: why pay someone else to host when I have the best server OS on the planet on my box(es)? I have 2 boxes that host about 6 domains currently, most using php and apache. I make a few hundred bucks a month running a couple of them for other folks with their own businesses. Surely folks on the list can get you up and running with mod_php and apache. There are also lots of helpful folks on the boards at phpbuilder.com, etc., to help with coding, and the online manual at php.net is at least as cool as freebsd's..... Just be sure and RT(F)M before you ask too many ????s :-) Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Cassidy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 2:32 PM Subject: Apache,PHP and FreeBSD > Hello everyone. I have been messing around with html lately and think its pretty cool. I want to start using PHP with apache and buy my own domain. My question is this: What is a good site to get domains from that has a reasonable amount of space and doesnt cost too much? Does anyone know of any good tutorials online for PHP,Apache and FreeBSD? Of course I will be using this on my freebsd machine so docs or tutorials about this related to freebsd would be nice. I am going to start working on this tomorrow sometime so I would appreciate some info. thanks > > ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > E-Mail: Bryan Cassidy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6.2 > Gaim: bsdsys > Yahoo Messenger: bsdsys > > Please do not simply Reply-To: Bryan Cassidy > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It is OK to Cc: me as long as you send the > Reply back To: the original mailing lists.
