When hosting a website, upload speed is critical. Incoming traffic on a web server consists mostly of page requests, which are small packets of information easily handled by a broadband connection. The web server responds to a request by sending (uploading) the information on the server to the remote computer. Most Internet service providers (ISPs) base their connection speeds on the available download bandwidth. Upload speeds are generally half of the rated download. You will need at least a DSL connection to host a website that loads on a remote computer in a reasonable amount of time.
Hardware
A web server doesn't necessarily have to be a powerhouse computer. It simply handles file requests and sends requested pages and information. Don't use your personal computer though. When you host an Internet site, you are inviting everyone in the world to access your host computer. Any personal information located on the server will be considered fair game by hackers.In addition to a server computer, you will need a router to direct Internet traffic through your local network onto the web. The router should be capable of port forwarding (all http requests go through port 80) and should have physical Ethernet ports to connect to the server. Wi-Fi connections aren't as fast or reliable as hard-wired connections.
Software
Special web server software is necessary to set a computer up as a web host. Microsoft Internet Information Server can be downloaded free from the Microsoft website. It allows users to host websites on Windows-based PCs. Linux, Apache, MySQL and myPHP (LAMP) is another free option for web hosting software. In a LAMP installation, Linux is the base operating system, Apache functions as the web server, MySQL is the database engine and myPHP processes host PHP script requests. LAMP is available free for Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE installations as well as commercial Linux releases like Red Hat.
Address
You will need to register a domain name, like myhomedomain.com, so visitors can locate your server. There is a small fee associated with this. Domain registrars offer a variety of services for a variety of prices. Once the domain name is registered, you will have to submit it to a DNS server. Unlike domain registration, this step is available as a free service from some organizations. The last portion of your address to consider is whether you have a static or dynamic IP address. A static IP address never changes. This makes it easier for the DNS servers to keep track of your website and is required by some e-commerce applications. Dynamic IP addresses change periodically. Most ISPs have an additional charge for static IP addresses.

How to Register Your Own Website DomainIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Choose several name options for your website. If you're most interested in a '.com' top-level domain name (TLD), your first choice may be already taken by someone else. Have several names in mind before beginning the registration process, and consider other extensions, such as '.net' or '.org.'
Choose a registrar to help you register your domain name, such as GoDaddy, Register.com or NameCheap. There are hundreds of registrars authorized by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to sell domain names. Make sure the registrar you choose is a accredited by ICANN by searching for it on ICANN's authorized registrar list. Annual prices and services offered, such as Web hosting, vary by registrar, so research each carefully before deciding upon a registrar.
Enter your domain name choices. Your favorite may not be available, so keep trying until you find an acceptable domain name. Some registrars help by suggesting names that are similar to your first choice, such as 'example.net' or 'examples.com' instead of 'example.com.'
Enter the necessary contact information. This information is required by ICANN. You must enter information for four types of contacts, although you can enter the same person, most likely yourself, for each of the contact types. The organization contact is considered the domain name's owner, and the administrative contact is the person who handles all administrative needs. The technical contact is responsible for all technical aspects of the domain name, while the billing contact pays the registry fees and handles other payment issues as necessary.
Choose options for your domain name after selecting an available name. Pick the length of your registration, which is often between one and 10 years. One year is the minimum commitment, but it's often a better deal to buy a longer term -- you may get a discount for purchasing several years up front. Some registrars offer automatic renewals, meaning your credit card or PayPal account is automatically charged at the end of your registration term until you cancel it. This option can help ensure continuity in your website by removing the chance you could forget to renew it. Many registrars provide matching domain names, which are names that are the same as the one you chose but with different extensions, such as '.org' or '.info.' These are often offered at a discounted rate, so you have the option to purchase them along with your original domain name. You must renew them just like you renew your main domain name. Decide whether you want to choose private domain registration. There is typically a fee associated with private registration. This option is designed to help reduce the amount of email spam, junk snail mail and telemarketing calls you receive. If you register your domain publicly, your personal information appears on the WHOIS website, which is an online searchable database of every domain name in use. It provides the name, address, phone number and email address of each domain name's owner. Choosing private registration shows the information of a proxy company instead of your information. The proxy company either belongs to your registrar company or partners with it.
Enter your Web host's primary and secondary nameservers when prompted. This directs your domain name to your website. You can likely find this information by logging in to your Web hosting account and looking under the host's frequently asked questions -- search for 'domain name transfer' or 'DNS.' If you have trouble finding the nameservers, call or email your Web host, who should be able to provide you with the information. If you don't have a Web hosting company yet, your registrar might offer domain parking services. Parking is when your domain name is routed to a dummy Web page for a short time. If you want to take advantage of this service, contact the registrar to ask what is shown on its dummy Web pages -- some fill the page with advertisements you don't endorse or earn money from. Others place a filler image, such as 'Under Construction,' on the page.
Pay for your domain name using a credit card or your PayPal account, if accepted by your registrar.
