Personal computer change website server comprehensive solution

What happened, my homepage could not be accessed? ! Hey, this free space has been suspended.

Where can I find a home for our website? This is a problem that many webmasters face today. There is almost no free space now. If you use the toll space, you can't afford to spend money. How can you find a server that doesn't cost money and has a lot of space?

With the popularity of broadband networks, especially the increase in monthly broadband users, our personal computers basically have the conditions to become a server. So for readers who have installed a monthly broadband network, you can use your own computer to act as a server! This not only has a large webpage space, but also a wide range of administrative privileges (after all, it is your own computer).

But when we turn a PC into a server, we are faced with a problem: As we all know, all websites need to have a fixed address so that others can access them at any time. The access service providers such as telecommunications will not provide fixed IP addresses for these individual users. The IP address of each Internet access is dynamically allocated by the access service provider.

How to solve this thorny problem? Use peanut shell software on it! This software provides us with a client program. As long as the client program is run, the current dynamic IP address of our computer will be sent to the dynamic domain name resolution server for instant resolution, and the current IP address and our application will be applied. The domain names are bundled together. In this way, you can always access our website stored on your computer through a fixed domain name.

Setting up the server

After all, the personal computer is personal-oriented. In the default state, there is no server requirement, but we only need to set it up easily. Windows 2000 and XP provide "Internet Information Services (IIS)", and we can turn a PC into a Wed or FTP server by simply installing it.

1. Install IIS

Open “Delete/Add Program” in Control Panel, select “Add/Remove Windows Components”, and select “Internet Information Service” in the pop-up Windows Components Wizard window. (IIS)", click the "Details" button, select the "Internet Information Service Management Unit", "Common Files", "World Wide Web Service", "Documents" option (Figure 1), after confirming, insert the system installation The disk is installed.

In the "Web Address" tab, select "All Unassigned" in the "IP Address" tab, and other items by default; select the "Home Directory" tab, and select "Directory on this computer" in the "Content Source When Connecting to Resource" option. Then specify the location of the home page in "Local Path" (Figure 2); open the "Documents" tab, select "Enable Default Document", and then click the "Add" button, enter the home page name of the website, generally "index.htm" ".

In addition, in this year's 16-17 joint edition of this newspaper, there is an article using the software Serv-U to set up an FTP server. You can refer to it. If your system is Windows 9x, use PWS (bring your own web/FTP server) to set up the server.

Applying for registration

Click "I want to register domain name record" on the left, select "Free Domain Name", there are two domain name suffix for you to choose, enter the desired domain name in the input box, click "Submit".

Tip: If your computer is only turned on for a certain period of time, you can set it in the "Online Time Preset" when filling out the site information. In addition, if you want to set up any other server, you can also Set in "You are planning to build your site."

Installing Peanut Shell

The server and domain name are ready. The last task is to install the Peanut Shell client program.

One of the steps is to fill in the username and password. Fill in the domain name and password of the domain you are applying for. Leave it blank.

Note: If you are sharing Internet access via LAN, using the domain name will not be able to access the personal server normally, because the peanut shell software does not support intranet access users. We need to use the port mapping method to achieve access, just open the window shown in Figure 2 to the host computer, select the "Source of content when connecting to resources" option as "Share on another computer", and The following specifies your computer and website directory in your local area network.
