Can I Host My Own Website on My Computer?In Feburary 2016 18,

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 Get a Free Credit Report in CanadaIn Feburary 2016 06,

In Feburary 2016 06,
To request a credit report by mail, TransUnion and Equifax require the consumer to download, fill out and mail in a form. TransUnion uses the Consumer Disclosure form and Equifax uses the Canadian Credit Report Request form, both of which are located on their respective websites. Along with the form, the consumer sends in two photocopies of both sides of two pieces of identification such as a driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, Social Insurance number or utility or credit card bill.
Over the Phone and in-Person
A consumer can call TransUnion to request that the company mail him a copy of the Consumer Disclosure form to mail back in. Equifax allows consumers to submit all necessary information over the phone and then mails the credit report to the consumer. TransUnion also provides free credit reports in person through a Canadian TransUnion office. At the office, the consumer fills out the Consumer Disclosure form and provides two pieces of identification.
Online
Both credit reporting companies provide online credit reports with immediate access, but both charge for the service. As of the time of publication, Equifax charges $15.50 for the online credit report and $23.95 for both the report and the credit score. If applying by mail, Equifax charges $11.95 for the credit score to be included in the mailed report. TransUnion’s online credit report is $14.95, while the report and score are $22.90.
