When I get a good spare machine to use as a server then my services will be available 24/7 on my home cable line.  Of course, the cable company says that I cannot do this...

who cares?
just don't get caught and don't make a buisness selling server space.

Optimum Online caps your modem if you continually upload data for a long time, about I would say anywhere from 10-60 minutes.

Just a FYI

We have linux web servers here running on P-II 350s with 128MB of RAM that take a few thousand hits a day, so whatever you have lying around should do you plenty in your situation.

as long as you use an OS that doesnt use much CPU itself (something command line like a linux distro or a toned down windows) can run on anything u give it.
[edit] - whithin reason u cant host www.porn.com on ur 486 for example ;)

I've got a little P1 133Mhz w/64MB Ram that's acting as my web/FTP server. I'm going to give it another memory boost shortly (maxing the board out at 128MB), and then I'm going to be setting up my new domain for it.

My ISP, Shaw Cable, does prohibit the use of servers, but I've been running them off and on ever since we were signed up. I did get a warning from them to take down my FServer once, but that was because of a little matter of an Office 97 keygen and a cease-and-desist letter from Microsoft. :whistle:

I run Mail, FTP, Web to just play with the features....

Thats a good start to learning about Networking and servers. I used to do that, and then I decided to buy my own fleet of servers for personal and business use.

I ran web & ftp on a generic machine with a Celeron 300a. 192MB (junk) RAM, & Windows2000 for 2 years (damn thing ran great & never crashed). I finally retired it when I combined both of my servers into one machine and am still using it as a test box for server configurations.

My Server is now (Windows 2003) running web, ftp, & email on the public side, and is the Domain Controller, DNS, WINS (for the down level stuff), DHCP, File storage, & print server for my office LAN.

ok, well I got a pentium 166 with 32 megs of ram in it, so if I boosted the memory to say 64 (at least) or 128 it would be ok, what about if I'd overclock the processor!?? I mean, I know it could get unstable and stuff, but I could get around 200 mhz from it, and with adequate cooling it shouldn't be a problem right?? I mean, I see the danger in oc'ing a server, but if it'd work, then it'd be great.....btw, what size hdd should I have?? I already have a 350(megs) and a 170(megs) hdd's, think they'll do alright?? im not gonna have any databases or anything, so im not prolly gonna need the big space...

[hacnslash]

well, i checked with my isp's site and check this out:
" Adelphia Power Link may not be used with a broadcast server of any kind' thats bullshit!!! well, i guess they cant really do anything, im gonnat do it anyway....

Ouch that's tight. Windows2000 will need a minimum of 1 Gig & that must be formated NTFS (the install will fail on a 1Gig FAT partition), 1.5 would be much better...My old web server ran on a 2Gig. For that machine you may want to consider NT4, or Linux. 64MB RAM is manditory for Win2000 128MB is better...

With 128MB RAM & a 2Gig drive you should be able to run 2k with some light OC'ing (stop at 200) for a test machine.
