Bootup05

Hi peeps,

I have been thinking about starting up an online website hosting service for some mates, plus my dad thinks it would be a good idea plus he would also use it and pay me for it , Im just wondering what I would need!

I would like my own server, (probably an old thing off of ebay) and I have a few questions.

1) Would I need something like Windows Server 2003 to operate this machine?
2) When I connect it to my home network how would I make the pages, is It all done in Windows Server edition or do I need an appilcation like Macromedia.
3) How would I host it, do I need to go to a online company and host my domain? so when people want to access it they would find it on the web through my hosting company and come to my server to access the pages?

Cos I dont want to have my pages stored on someone elses server, I would like it to be on mine so people can access the site on my server at home that is online, just want to know how to do this without to much expense (without my files and stuff having to be on the hosts server).

Thanks
Jason
