RE: web site hardware requirements

["Alex Monaghan" <ha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

It would depend on how many visitors you expected. Most ISP's don't allow
hosting on your home connection (although for small site, I guess most turn
a blind eye).

Your best bet is to go with a shared hosting solution. This will only cost
=A320-30 per year for a small site like this. The other consideration is
da=
ta
transfer (most call it Bandwidth). 100Mb viewed by 1 or 2 people is not a
lot, viewed by 100 people is a lot. Ensure the cost of going over your
bandwidth allocation is not excessive, keep an eye on your logs and upgrade
if necessary as most hosting providers will either suspend your site when
you hit the limit or sting you for unauthorised bandwidth usage.

Several members offer hosting, might be worth a view through the archives.

We offer hosting, if you're wanting a quote let me know off list.
