I registered web site, I have linux sever at home with DSL, how can I host my website from home?

Guys:

I registered my web site (www.xyz.com) from register.com, I installed
Linux server at home, I connected that server to Router, Router WAN
port to DSL. So this way my Linux machine is on had Internet
connection, what are the steps now to rum my web (www.xyz.com) site
from my linux server?.

Also if I want to add real-time processing (I want to launch online
book shop site from home), what are the steps involved in the
development of that site.

Thanks in advance.

Linux is an operating system, you need a web server. Apache is a popular
choice on linux.

You also need a DNS server (to point www.xyz.com to your IP address, if
you have a dynamic IP address you need more software) but you don't need
to run this yourself, try somewhere like <http://www.everydns.net/> if you
want it done for free, or ask your ISP (or whoever sold you xyz.com).

Configure Apache, check it works on your network. Make sure the computer
is secure, preferably use a firewall. Set the DNS as above. That's it.

I installed whole RH linux, Is Apache is not part of that, or Do I
have to download and install separately?, also do I have to download
any firewall to protect the web server?

Matt,

Thanks for your response, I have a DSL connection, between my Linux
Server and DSL modem, I have Netgear Router (NAT Firewall inbuilt and
VPN passthrough), can this Router protects my LAN from Hackers?. Or do
I need something else?. Also Is there anyway in Linux Server, can I
enable Firewall?.

Is Apache is part of RH package which I installed on my Linux
Machine?. Or do I have to download that and install?. Thanks.

No offence, but chances are if you need to ask the question, you
shouldn't be trying.

Search your harddrive for "Apache".

Generally httpd (or httpd2).

There are all sorts of issues, such as whether you have a static
IP address, whether or not your ISP's terms of service permit
a server, whether or not your ISP blocks certain ports, how to
properly configure a firewall, how to properly configure Linux,
how to properly configure Apache, etc.

You are WAY over your head trying to do this, based on the
questions you are asking. I'd suggest either waiting until
you learn "a whole bunch more", or:
- disconnect the Linux box from the internet, and connect it
using TCP/IP to another local computer, and get things working
so you can access the linux-based webserver from the other
local computer - that way you don't have to worry about
ISP-related issues, and being attacked from 'the outside'
- get some help - maybe there is a local Linux users group
you can join
