Web development

Question

How can I build a self hosted website for myself, a business or a co-operation

Answer 1

I've been using the following setup to run a webserver for over two years now:
A Raspberry Pi with nginx or Apache as webserver and a Debian distribution (e. g. Rasbian) as OS. My router forwards all requests from outside on port 80 and 443 (web ports) to my Raspberry Pi. With no-ip I set up a domain name and configured it to use the IP address of my Raspberry Pi. Also this solution doesn't cost you anything except for the hardware of the server.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Server, static IP, Domain, Webserver software, and if you want it for local usage a lot of knowledge of networking

Answer 4

Aaron Eberhardt has a good solution for small pages for private use etc, but not for businesses

Answer 5

Setting up a public website on a Raspberry comes with all kinds of security risks....

What's your reason for being self hosted anyway?
For businesses it's better to outsource hosting, to prevent downtime etc
