Soldato
Hi all,
I've had some webspace with Vidahost that I purchased about 6 years ago. Special offer for the first year but now its sitting at £70 for 2 years, not a lot I know but it is money I could do without spending.
Now, it was bought for building 2 photography sites on and me 2 domains point there but in all that time it is just something I never got around to and the majority of the business comes from Facebook.
Now, how easy would it be to use one of my i5 desktops to create my own webserver and host the sites myself? No fee's, unlimited storage and i'll also consider it a learning experience as well so the benefits are threefold. I will be losing expert help though which is the main issue. However the coming year it is all about making money and saving money so i am leaning towards making it.
Is it a daft thing to consider? I am sure some of you here have done similar.
Any help? More than willing to jump into Linux if needed too.
