If you run a website that gets a lot of traffic and/or needs to hold a great deal of information, you may want to consider getting a server over using a web hosting company.  You will need a little bit of technical background to set the server up, but there are numerous free guides available online that can help you in this process.  In fact, Associated Content even features an article talking about how you can turn an ordinary laptop into a server.

Yet, is this a method that is recommended, especially if you don’t have the funds to get a regular server?  Well, if you do it just keep in mind that your information may not be as secure from hackers or other individuals that may want to do harm to your network.  For this reason it is best that you use a secondary computer as your server… one that doesn’t hold data that is vital to you.
