your own server for what?
Source(s): ?? - jackLv 48 years ago
Depends what you need a server for. You can have a server to host an online game. You can have a server to create your own website. You can have a server to manage files via FTP. Some servers are used for the purpose of managing home networks. If you are referring to an online game, then simply look the game up on Youtube. If any other reason, don't do it. To create a server, you need to completely remove any firewalls and you need to open ports for the sake of traffic. The means hackers can now target you. They can after your web page. You can do this on a home computer but it works best when you have a couple of machines who only work on transferring files. On your computer, the microchip processor concerns itself with processing data, storing it, and generating an interface. A server machine should only process it and store it. Generating an interface is extremely complex for computers. You''re better off buying a site.

Your question is too vague. Servers are completely dependent on what function you want to perform. For a game like minecraft, you can simply download the files to host your own server on your own computer. But if you're techy and wanna host something such as a website or a database, you may have to program one.
