Help Test My Webserver (now spam my forum!)

Evening all,

I think I've finally got my webserver configured correctly

Could I please ask that some of you kind folks try the URL's below and post your results.

http://www.moshweb.co.uk
http://moshweb.co.uk
These should open a blank page with the titled "Moshweb.co.uk" with the text "Moshweb.co.uk"

This should open a blank page titled "freakish.dyndns.tv" with the text "freakish.dyndns.tv"

Many thanks.

Is it a home server?

Indeed it is.
I'm a control freak, so this setup is perfect for me

Edit: Its also going to take care of all my e-mail

Meh, sounds a lot like my hosting company tbh.

LOL you are all correct in that I turned the machine off at about 10pm last night lol. Need to silence it before it can run 24/7 lol.

@xirokx:
The server itself is a little Celeron 667 with 256mb ram and a 20gb hdd - cost me £35 of the MM.
If you're going to be sending 6000+ emails a day (you lil spammer lol) then I'd definately reccomend it. I'm using Ability Mail Server 2 (which also has support for multiple domains

). Whilst it does have full SMTP capability I've been advised by fellow OcUK'ers to forward all outgoing mail to my ISP's mailserver (see This Thread - post 10) as apparrently some mailservers (at the recipients end) don't like dynamic IP addresses and will block the message

I would definately reccomend home-hosting to anyone who has the patience to get it running. If only for the fact that you can do whatever you like on the server (subject to T&C's as stated in THE LAW!). Plus you know that everything is safe and you are in control.

HTH

In short no. You'll probably find your ISP will cut you off for spamming. I've seen it happen to somebody who had a virus which kept sending emails out.

Yeah, very quick loading for me. What OS are you running on the server?

Craig321 · 19 Dec 2006 at 21:19

Yes, is rather speedy for a 600mhz celery.

Put a proper website on it and see how it runs .

I've been trying to come up with a good domain name to host my personal website. The best I've got so far is www.oced.co.uk (short for overclocked

)
I've got nearly 2 weeks of christmas leave starting Friday so I'll be spending a fair bit of time knocking a site up together.
That said, I might install phpbb :eek:

on www.moshweb.co.uk to see how it runs
