Hi, before i begin i've only just started to look at hosting my own website of my computer so these might just sound like silly questions. But everyones got to start somewhere :)

Looked at two websites/ guides (just say if you want to see them)
Off one this is what it said i would need:
  • Static IP address
  • 24/7 internet connectivity
  • Web-server software
  • A stable and reliable operating system

So, i'm a bit confused on what i would need to do to have a static IP address. The guide had what seemed quite an easy method for Apache for the web-server software.

Oh and lastly, one of the guides said something about setting up a Dynamic DNS using www.dyndns.com Is this neccessary?

Thanks anyway
Chris
