In order to set up a Web server, you need a dedicated computer (PC or Macintosh) running Windows/95, Windows/NT, or Linux or a Macintosh computer running MacOS. You also need a direct Internet connection and TCP/IP software. You can download shareware HTTP software for these platforms and operate your own Web server.

Is server is good for home use?
Yes, you can use a NAS or external hard drive to back up your data, but many servers also come with multiple, redundant storage compartments. So ultimately, if you're looking for power and storage, a server is better than a NAS. A cool thing that they both are able to do is constantly backup data from all devices.Jun 4, 2020
