[AccessD] hosting a website in-house

Hi John:

There are a number of initial site configuration and process steps you have
to go through, I assuming you are using IIS, which comes with all MS current
servers, but once you get use to it, it is very easy... you can pop out
website after website with gay abandon.

If you need any help with specifics I would be more than glad to help.

Jim

Subject: [AccessD] hosting a website in-house

I just need a reality check as to whether trying to host a website in-house
is insane, doable, easy, 
difficult?  If I did this it would be for my own web site (very low
traffic), and would need to 
include email (also low traffic).  If I lost internet (which I get over the
local cable) then 
obviously I would be out of commission for the duration of that outage.

I have been in this home / office for close to four years and have had only
one single extended 
outage (11 hours, due to weather).

I have a server that I keep up 24/7.  I have battery backup etc.  I run VMs
and it seems like I 
could put something like this in a VM so that I could move it to another
machine if I had a machine 
issue.

I am actively considering building a new server with 16 or 24 cores because
it would be a big boost 
for my SQL Server work and with so many cores it seems like having a VM
running my web site might 
make sense.
