jerseyjoe Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 This is what the hosting company gave you, if not ask them Thanks, but I would like to host it on my computer any ideas Unless you want to do this as a learning experience, it's not a good idea for a variety of good reasons, especially if you intend to operate an online store as a profitable business. To start with, you will need more hardware than just a simple PC. A server is not a PC and vice versa. But let's assume you cobble up a PC so it performs enough of the functions of a server that you can install all the needed software, plus a CubeCart and actually start serving your pages. The next issue is your connection. Unless you are willing to invest in enterprise grade connections to the Internet backbone at the top tier, you will not be able to handle more than a limited volume of traffic. The kind of volume you'd need to be profitable will choke your ordinary home connection. Further, as soon as your ISP finds out you are running a server for an online store - and they have sniffers to determine that - they probably will shut you off for violating their TOS. Then there is security. Let's not even go there. When you are all done, you will have "saved" yourself $20 a month that professional-grade hosting costs. At the end, what you would have reminds me of what Mark Twain once said about a report that someone had trained a dog to talk. It's not remarkable that the dog talks, but that anyone would expect it to say anything worth the trouble. Now having said all that, what you need is not in the scope of this forum about Cube Cart. I'm sure there are forae devoted to building and operating your own server. I just Googled that and got a promise of 18,500,000 pages that mention the topic. At least one of those sites must contain a forum. Here's the first few search results . . .

Robsta Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 This is what the hosting company gave you, if not ask them Thanks, but I would like to host it on my computer any ideas When you are all done, you will have "saved" yourself $20 a month that professional-grade hosting costs.You would have spent out far more than $20 a month in upgrading the ISP connection, required hardware and software, security precautions and your time. As a professional I would not even attempt this for a website I wanted people to visit. It depends what your objective is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
