There are many things to consider when setting up your own server. We wouln't
encourage a novice for the job. Seek help from web professionals if you have any
queries. Here are some web hosting factors to consider when setting up your personal
server:
- A server license is needed and they are not cheap
- Virus, bugs and spam attacks
- 24-hour maintenance and support
Your website doesn't sleep but you do need your sleep! Who is going to take
care of your website that is hosted in your personal computer while you are
sleeping? Getting 24 hour up- time and support is necessary for your website;
especially if it is a business website! The main advantage Internet Service
Providers have over personal servers is: having web professional maintenance
crew working 24/7 to ensure that web hosting is running smooth for websites.
Many people will think setting up server hosting is cheaper than getting a
web hosting package. Buying hosting equipment is not cheap for an individual
and just like any other computer equipment, it becomes outdated after a while.
Server companies spend hundreds of thousands on equipment and keeping up with
technology. They buy in bulk, hence having bulk savings. Hence, web hosting
packages are competitive and affordable.
If you are genuinely interested in setting up your own server, do it out of
interest's sake. Otherwise, you will be financially better off getting hosting
packages off bulk- buying server companies.
