Why we need a web hosting to host our website?Why not host our site all by ourselves?Why we need to pay so much to hire a web hosting to place our website.We do not want to run a website on other hosting as it is not safe for our webiste and personal information，but really we can do it?
Can we afforda it and is it fair? How to do?
If you have a computer and a high speed internet connection (DSL/Cable) you can host your own website. You will need to keep your computer on and online 24/7, which should be no big deal. Besides this, you need only to follow the 7 steps I describe below, to make your website available to users on the internet:
(1) Install a web server: Most Windows operating systems either come with a web server, or one can be downloaded for free depending on the version of Windows. The web server is the program that runs in the background on your computer listening to requests from people on the internet. It's the software that finds your pages in your computer and sends them to the users requesting it.
(2) Configure the web server: In this step you simply tell your web server where to find your website that is sitting somewhere in your computer.
(3) Get a domain name: In this step you decide on the name that you want for your site and buy it from a provider. Domain names are cheap and you pay the fee only once a year.
(4) Configure DNS: This is where you associate your website name with the IP address of your computer so users are transferred to your computer when typing the name of your website.
(5) Configure your router: Your router needs to know about the computer that has the web page so it knows where to forward users to.
So,website all run by yourself is absolutely possible as you can have the trial.Step by step you will become more and more experienced in this hosting.You will realize that so much money spent on the web hosting is not worth in sometimes if you really run a professional website for online business.Do it yourself now.
