Those observant souls may have noticed the PayPal Donate button I have added to the sidebar on the left. With the rising cost of maintaining this website, I find it necessary to solicite voluntary donations. If you feel in the mood to donate some money towards the domain and hosting for this site, please give the button a click. At the moment I'm aiming for $28.82 for a hosting package at http://hosting.roboticalworld.com . Thanks very much to all!
hosting doesn't look too bad cost wise, but i've never heard of that company....
i'm getting the OC5 plan from www.surpasshosting.com - $59 for 5gb, 500gb bandwidth. uses C-Panel admin (very nice) and Fantastico (3 clicks to install things, variety to choose from like PHP-Nuke and PHPBB). great service. I had a few probs, solved within 3-4 hours (back and forth about 4 times too)
just make sure you google the company and see other ppls experience first, could save alot of headaches

yeah, I want to build my own server, but my parents won't let me. I believe I have all the hardware I ned, an unused computer (Pentium II) and an ethernet card to connect to the router, now to convert from Win 98 to Linux Server.
Tell me if I am wrong on this.

That sounds very similar to my setup...
Yeah, that should be all you need; do you need a crash course on Linux?
I overcame that problem; I didn't tell them

yeah, but they would notice in my place, no place to hide it and connect it to the router, plus they would notice it missing
Yeah could use a crash course in Linux, server style, and main comp OS, dual boot, with wireless

dual boots easy (assuming you don't need to save any data) - just delete the partition on there, and split it up, 1 partition for windows, 2 for linux (since win98 is FAT32, linux will be able to have full read/write to the windows partition if you want to transfer from one OS to the other)
for linux, one of the partitions is for swap, and should be roughly 2x the amount of RAM you have
if you have to save the data, you need to resize the windows partition, but this CAN be dangerous, and is recommended you backup your data anyway
Oh, and debian has an option to set it up with server packages (you'll see it when you get there). Make sure you get at least the first 2 CDs or no GUI for you!

Better to use a net installer CD
If you're using wireless, then why would you have to move your comp?

Kll: 1: I use Win XP, not 98
2: I really don't want Linux to be able to access my Win partition
3: I will have FAT32 Pratition just for Data storage, for both OSes
Ult Dev: for the server, it would have to be moved close to the router, I want it wired (security, relibilty, nework speed), and I would have to buy a new wireless card for the srver, no spending that kind of money.

This hasn't gone off-topic; we're talking about hosting solutions for websites
@rivereye: Chances are your internet connection never goes above 3Mbps, so preety much any wireless setup will be sufficient, even an 802.11b setup.

sorry, i figured you were using Win98 cause of this: "now to convert from Win 98 to Linux Server."
WinXP uses NTFS by default, linux would only be able to read from it, not write (or you could just have linux completely ignore it by not even mounting it - which is not done for you anyway, lol)
