You can, for an MS box all you really need is a webserver and a Static IP address. A stripped version of IIS (MS's Webserver does come with XP..  But you can only run one site at a time.  But there's TONS of Free webservers out there for Windows.  Just Google ' Windows Webserver' \n\nAs for the static IP address; If you are on dial-up forget it.  you're site will be so slow no one will come back.  If you are on Broadband then talk to you carrier about static IP addresses and how much they are.\n\nFor a MAC box, I'm not 100% sure. I know you'll still need a static IP address and a web server, Apache (which can work on windows also)  I believe will work on the MAC.

Get the apache web server.  It's free and probably the most robust web server out there.\n\nIt will take a little reading to learn the basic configuration.  \n\nIf you don't have a domain name, people will have to use your public IP address to access the site.\n\nEdit:  apache is available on almost all platforms including Windows.  Your site will only be available for viewing when the computer running apache is turned on and connected to the Internet.  That's why so many people recommend running an old (linux) machine to host the site.  A dedicated server can be a bit better but it's not necessary.

you need to run the applications on the PC you consider as server, give it IP address then tell your DNS that this name map to this IP.\n\nopen ports for "others" that the applications will recieve requests through.\n\ntry to connect from one computer to the server.\n\nHave Fun!

Of course you can. If you have an email account at Yahoo! then you can build your own web site at Geocities. You can do so at MSN Spaces, Angelfire, ..etc. Actually there are a lot of FREE hosting services on-line. Kindly, try on of the following FREE sites. After you sign up, you will find 2 ways to build up your site; by a wizard (recommended if you do not know HTML), or by an advanced way (if you know some HTML and coding). I hope you send us your web-site soon. I am sure it will be wonderful.

You will need to do the following to host your website from your home:\n\n1. Get a Broadband connection with Public Static IP address. (Static IP given by ISP is not enough. It must be public IP)\n\n2. Setup a Web server. Either IIS on Windows or Apache on Linux.\n\n3. Host your website by setting up appropriate Virtual directory.\n\n4. Use a Service like Dynamic DNS to make sure your Domain name resolves to your Static IP (Provided by your ISP)\n\nAll the best. Let me know when its done so i can take a look as well!

Nobody has to "host" documents or excel files.  You simply upload them to your web site directory like your HTML files.  Then the link to them will open the file for the person browsing the page.

There's a lot of places that you can host a free website.  One thing to remember though, is with 99 percent of them, your going to have banners and possibly pop up's that come with it allowing the hosting company to potentionally make some money off of it.  And your web address won't be www.whateveryouwant.com.  It'll be www.hostingcompanysname.whateveryouwant.com.  You can do a search for free website hosting on either yahoo or google.

A web server application will allow you to host web pages and other files so other people can access your public files.\n\nMost people use web servers to host web sites but any computer connected to the web with the correct software will also work.\n\nPersonally, I use web server software to test my websites before I 'go-live' so that the public do not see my mistakes.\n\nI wouldn't use my PC as a web server because it would just slow down to an annoying level - all those people accessing your files will definitely have an effect on processing power.
