Hello,
I would like to host off my computer. I want to create a mini hosting company but just for me. Without it being a company 
Is their anyway I can do this? I want my domain name to be my ip address. I also want it password protected. How do I do stuff like this? Anyguides? My friends friend did this but I dont know him much so could some of u guys help me out?

Yoou need to get Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
I'd recomend Apache2Triad
As for password protected, you'd need to find some .htaccess tutorials.
cows,
If you have an old box laying around, load up Debian or some other flavor of Linux on it.
Or else, XAMPP is a really nice alternative for the Windows environment, gotta lock it down though.
As for directing your domain to your IP, check out ZoneEdit.
One last thing, make sure your ISP is not blocking port 80.
And as Twirp says, do a lot of reading of how-tos 
As for password protected, you'd need to find some .htaccess tutorials.
This is a good start 
wamp is a good start.
easy to install.
- now using PHP 5.1.2
- now using MySQL 5.0.18
- now using phpmyadmin 2.7.0-pl2
- updated the PHP4 and "MySQL administration toolkit" add-on
ok I tried wamp
Its really nice. I like it a lot except how do I make it use my ip as a domain. Cause right now its just running off my local host and when I type in my ip it asks for my router username and password.
Yes im on a router. IS that a big problem?
Have your router forward port 80 to your computer
owned! Yes it works! Punbb! Everyquestion I have asked youve answered!! This place is the best! Im only 14 but if I had the money I would donate some! Best place ever!
Now I have another question. How do I create a username and password for my mySQL database so I can install these forums? I'm using this wamp thingy.
Figured it out
