Can you host your own website with your computer?

Question

can you explain for that and online IDE like codesandbox how do they work?

Answer 1

to host your own website..you would need a server machine running server software.

its expensive

but..a good option is a rasberry pi server.

online ides provide you with a runtime enviornment so you can write and execute code much like sololearns code playground.

Answer 2

It IS possible.
First, buy the domain.
Go to fast.io and follow the directions. When prompted to choose your website type, click the second one, select the way you'd like to code, and code the site. Go to settings and find the domain thingy. Upgrade to premium and find the setting so when they enter no specification for the file, redirect to index.html. then program it to redirect to your home file. It's confusing, but ALOT less expensive.
