Can I Host My Own Website on My Computer?In Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
When hosting a website, upload speed is critical. Incoming traffic on a web server consists mostly of page requests, which are small packets of information easily handled by a broadband connection. The web server responds to a request by sending (uploading) the information on the server to the remote computer. Most Internet service providers (ISPs) base their connection speeds on the available download bandwidth. Upload speeds are generally half of the rated download. You will need at least a DSL connection to host a website that loads on a remote computer in a reasonable amount of time.
Hardware
A web server doesn't necessarily have to be a powerhouse computer. It simply handles file requests and sends requested pages and information. Don't use your personal computer though. When you host an Internet site, you are inviting everyone in the world to access your host computer. Any personal information located on the server will be considered fair game by hackers.In addition to a server computer, you will need a router to direct Internet traffic through your local network onto the web. The router should be capable of port forwarding (all http requests go through port 80) and should have physical Ethernet ports to connect to the server. Wi-Fi connections aren't as fast or reliable as hard-wired connections.
Software
Special web server software is necessary to set a computer up as a web host. Microsoft Internet Information Server can be downloaded free from the Microsoft website. It allows users to host websites on Windows-based PCs. Linux, Apache, MySQL and myPHP (LAMP) is another free option for web hosting software. In a LAMP installation, Linux is the base operating system, Apache functions as the web server, MySQL is the database engine and myPHP processes host PHP script requests. LAMP is available free for Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE installations as well as commercial Linux releases like Red Hat.
Address
You will need to register a domain name, like myhomedomain.com, so visitors can locate your server. There is a small fee associated with this. Domain registrars offer a variety of services for a variety of prices. Once the domain name is registered, you will have to submit it to a DNS server. Unlike domain registration, this step is available as a free service from some organizations. The last portion of your address to consider is whether you have a static or dynamic IP address. A static IP address never changes. This makes it easier for the DNS servers to keep track of your website and is required by some e-commerce applications. Dynamic IP addresses change periodically. Most ISPs have an additional charge for static IP addresses.

What Are the Benefits of FTP?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Files are uploaded to an FTP server. The server has a large memory capacity to host the files available for transfer. Files can be accessed through any Internet browser or any FTP software, referred to as a 'client.' Sometimes files are available permanently, but oftentimes, especially through a company, they may be available only temporarily. Check with the administrator to find out whether there is an automatic delete time frame.
Access
One way to access these files directly is to use the FTP address through an Internet browser. The address will be similar to a website address, except instead of 'http://,' it will begin with 'ftp://.' You may need a login ID and password to access some FTP sites, which will typically automatically pop up in a dialogue box.
Inside an FTP Site
Once you're logged in, there will usually be a file structure, with main folders and subfolders, similar to what you may have in 'My Documents' on your computer. This structure is set up by an administrator. Folders and files may be public or private, and access may include adding, moving, editing and/or deleting; so, if it seems like you can't do something, check with the administrator about the limits to your access.
'Hidden' FTP
However, when downloading from the internet, the FTP site is probably using an anonymous login, which is why you may have never known it was happening. The FTP address itself is usually hidden from the end user, though the file transfer process is the same.
Easier Access
If you start using an FTP site regularly, find yourself with multiple IDs or just want an easier access point, then an FTP client is something to consider. There are many free options available. It makes uploading much easier and protects downloads---simply drag and drop. It will store all of your frequented FTP sites, along with their respective logins and passwords, in one convenient place. Check out the resources below for a start, find one that suits your needs and preferences, and let the file transfers begin.

Can I Work on WordPress Offline?In Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
Users may want to work with WordPress offline for several reasons. One use for offline WordPress is as a test environment. An offline, local installation of WordPress offers a safe, easily restored environment to test changes to the WordPress installation, such as code implementation or layout testing.
Local Server
WordPress can run on any computer that supports PHP scripting language and MySQL databases. Windows, Mac and Linux machines can all be configured to support this environment. Once enabled, users can install the WordPress web application and then access this installation from their local machine. Local server installations work exactly like online WordPress installations, except instead of typing an Internet URL to access the WordPress installation, users enter their local hostname or http://127.0.0.1 address to point to the installation.
Desktop Blogging Clients
Desktop blogging clients allow users to draft posts offline, though most other administrative functions must still be done via an online connection to the WordPress installation. WordPress-compatible desktop blogging clients include Windows Live Writer, BlogDesk and Qumana. Features vary between desktop clients, but most include post creation, categorization and tagging. More advanced desktop clients may allow a user to manage other aspects of her blog, such as creating local backups.
Maintenance Mode
Users who want to take their WordPress site offline but still work with the backend have the option of installing a plugin that will put the WordPress site in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode will close the site to incoming user connections but allow administrators and other authorized users access to the live site. Though not truly working offline, enabling maintenance mode is a viable alternative for users who only need to take WordPress offline temporarily.
