Self Hosted Server · **Released**: 10-08-2007

Hi Guys,

I wanted to know what i would need to set up my own server at home?
I am not familiar with servers and that's why i need your help!

What kind of server do I need to buy to run a forum with daily visits of 250 Users and simultaneous navigation?

Thanks,
Marco

and not only upload speed isn't the only one that should be fast

Really he could have a 10mb card and it would still be faster then the connection he will have at a home... lol

Remember it's only as fast as your weakest link....

I was answering your post of him needed a 1gb network card... it's useless in his case. That's all I was saying.
As for running a server at home, an old pent4 will do the trick

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
