Hi everyone.
I run a small, part time ornamental metalworking business and my father is soon to be running a small sawmill on the same property. We’d like to set up our own website, but really don’t care to go through a provider that would hold the ownership of the website name (EX: It would be our content, but the actual address would belong to them).
I do however have in my possesion an HP pavillion 7955 (1.5 GHZ, 256 MbRAM, 40 GB hard drive, high speed cable internet) that USED to have windows until we lost the info on the hard drive during a storm. I had it checked and the computer is still good, just windows and everything else is gone. Would it be possible to set this PC up as a server for our own website? If so what might doing that entail, and can anybody recommend a good, straightforward reference book (out of the millions out there), preferably one that is simple to understand, that would at least HELP me get through the process?
Thanks everyone.
