anyways sorry for the long introduction most of my computer was learned from lurking around the internet, recently ive been trying to learn about servers and hosting but i cant find any info on creating your own service connection (correct me if im using the wrong term) to connect to the internet i was wondering if anyone here knows how to create your own service connection and the hardware needed to create one
im sorry if this is in the wrong forum (or wrong site?!) but i thought this would be the place to post it since im new to it and its the most basic thing you need to do web development
You question does indeed sound rather basic - especially since you seem to be a profound expert on certain specialist subjects. Maybe a general coverage on web developent via a printed introduction to the topic (ie., a book) would help you to fill gaps.
As for your question: I use either IE or filezilla. To use IE, just replace "http://" with "ftp://" and log in with your username and password. Then you should be able to drop filed into directories in the same manner as one does it in MS Explorer. Filezilla works similarly.
Before that, you need to register an account with a hosting company, obviously.
I hope this helps! Good luck and happy webbing!

what i was asking was how to create my own connection to the internet not using an isp (yes now that i think about it isp is a much better word)
maybe i should say i want be my own isp to connect to the internet using my own hardware as a server
its something im going to need to learn for what i have planed
sorry if my introduction confused you
The 2 main ways are as follows:
1) Co-locate your server at as ISP's (also known as a hosting company or co-location company) facility. You give them your server, they usually take care of all the hardware. Although you may also want to provide your own firewall.
2) Host your own server at your home or office. Contact your local cable or DSL company to get Internet access. They will probably send you the router that you need (or you can often buy your own instead of renting theirs). Again, you may want to buy an additional firewall. And again, read their ToS carefully to make sure it doesn't violate them to run your own server.
i thought that id have to do something like that but i wasnt sure
i hope charter will let me to use there service to make a dns root server so i can use a .sn4x, doubt it though
mail to sn4x@sn4x.sn4x? i wish!
