Here is the next question for a newbie who are wish to run a ASP.Net website from home or going with a hosting company. However, as per my experience I suggest to instead of running website from home, you may prefer a good hosting company. Running a website from home is not a bad idea. But the stuff behind it some what hard. So in this article i am going to highlight what are the stuffs you need to run a website.
Below are the requirements to run a website:
1) High-speed Internet Connection
2) Static IP
3) Daily Backup Plan
4) Hardware/Software Requirements
5) Electricity
High-speed Internet Connection:
You must have a good High-speed Internet connection on your home. The speed may limit may be fall between 4 Mbps – 8 Mbps is good enough.
Static IP:
Try to buy the Static IP address from the Internet Service Provider. As all of you know, IP address is like a address of your home. So you must configure that static IP address to your site. The cost is (while this writing) start from 2000 INR.
Hardware/Software Requirements:
This is the area which comes with a lot of expenditure. You must bought a Server OS Software, a good configuration computer to run as a server, SQL Server or Other Database that fit for your need. After all this, you must choose a better antivirus software to protect your system from attackers. As per my practical experience, it may cost around 2 to 3 Lakhs INR.
If your site contains heavy traffic, this price is vary. You may need to buy load balancer, configure another same configuration server to handle fail-over etc., which comes as a extra cost.
Daily Backup Plan:
This also an essential. You must take backup of your data at regular interval. So that you can restore it in future, if any kind of failure occurs. This is very much essential one. In order to store your back up data, you should buy some storage devices like external Hard-disks etc.,
Electricity:
Is it your home located in a good electricity zone? Because you are going to run a server, which must run 24X7. It requires a good ventilated air conditioned room. If any case of power failure, you must need a good alternative to run the server, like you must have a Genset or UPS power backup plans etc.,
Conclusion:
The above are my general list of items you should have, in order to run a website from home. The list is too high in financial aspects. So if you are going to run a single website, it’s my suggestion go with any good hosting company, which offer a good plan according to your need.
Readers, what you think? Is there any thing you suggest, please let me know.
