Build Your Own Web Server At Free

When you browse across the web may be you think of making your own web site. Today I'm going to tell you how to create your own web server that can host your web site. 


What You Need 
  • A Computer.
  • Linux or window operating system.
  • A working Internet connection.
Now The Next Step
As you have all of the three content above you are ready to make your own web server

First install the operating system in your computer with at-least 10 GB of free space (In C drive if you have window and In Root if you have Linux ).

Now you need to install WAMP in windows and LAMP in Linux but The best solution is to install XAMPP (you can find how to install instructions on the XAMPP web site )

Once you install XAMPP check it by putting
http://localhost/ 
In your web browser. If your Installation is goes well It shows something like this
Now you are ready

Put your site under the htdoc folder of your XAMPP installation directory.

Now your web site can be open in your browser but it is local server.
And you need to make it a global server.

Now to do this find your IP address on following address

Now you can open your site by this address

http://your-ip-here/name of your site folder

And now your web server is ready

You can get free domain name for your web site which I'll tell you in my next post
