Hello All,
Going thru a career change here and it looks like I'm going to need a web page. After I research all the answers you kind folks replied with, I'm sure I can layout and design a web page (s).
Here is my question: - should I just buy space on someones server like www.register.com for $4.95 a month or take one of my many boxes here and build a server and rent an address like www.no-ip.com ?
I'm really confused about what would be the easiest and cost LESS.
TIA,
BJ
Before you try to set up one yourself, make sure you can with the ISP you are using. Some ISPs block or redirect incomming port 80 connections. It may also be agenst your ISP's rules for you to run a web server. Now, if you deside have it hosted, deside how much trafic you expect, and shop around. If you are looking at fairly low trafic, such as for a personal web site, you can get 5G/month for around $11/year. This includes the web site, mail server, name server, mysql server, and a plenty of disk space. Most web hosting places also offer regestration at fairly low rates.

so Mikkel, why not tell us where this $11/year - 5gig/month service is?
I personally just go for paying my cable broadband bill, and run the websites off it. unless you are going to serve up movies to 20 or so connections at one time, Mandrake and PHP/mysql and the rest of the 'LAMP' suite (linux, Apache, Mysql, PERL/PHP make it almost as difficult as typing a resume.
but IMHO, the resume is slightly more difficult, unless you have one to copy...
Disk storage: 250 MB Data Transferee: 5 G Mail Accounts: No limit.
But, you can take a look at:

The cheapest 5 G plan is $0.56/month payable yearly. Works out to $6.72/year.
Disk storage: 200 MB Data Transferee: 5 G Mail Accounts: No limit.
I am using the first one. I have had it for 10 months so far, and I am happy with it. But my site is just for fun. I give the mail server more of a workout then the web server.
