Your OWN DNS Server tutorial

Have a cable/dsl connection and a decent-sized hard drive?
Why not host it yourself?
Go HERE for a step-by-step tutorial on how to setup your OWN DNS server on your computer. Stop throwing your money away.

Additionally, if you're looking for a decent WEB server (for Windows), give Aprelium's Abyss X1 a try. Simple to setup and rivals most expensive web servers on the market. Some would even claim it to be faster than Apache, I'll let you decide. I will say the the learning curve to install/configure is no where NEAR as hard as Apache.

I agree,I can't get over 34.4kbs,And the server is not stable,I've tried everything i know to do to increase the speed aswell as make it stable and it's just not working for me.

reason is typicaly the average user has 256kilo bits upload. divide that by 8 that tells you how many kilobytes per second you can push (its about 15) that is not very fast. considering when a server in a datacenter can push at 100mbps (12.5megabytes per second)

while you could get a connection of similar speed into your house youd be looking at a very large sum. then they might say its up to you to get the fiber link from their network to your facility which if its not fibered means digging up roads. more money.

then youve also got customer views, if you have your server sitting under the tv, in a warm room and no major backup facilities. then its not going to go to well with your customers.

so when you think about it. $20 a month for a decent hosting package is amazing.

the 34.4kbs is not down to a server or network issue its down to your isp

they cap the upload to discourage things like this.

The thing is that it is alot cheaper to just buy it because once you buy the server, internet, power, racks and everything else it is not worth it most of the time plus you have to be able to have the skills and money to keep it up.
