[thelist] domain self-hosting

[Mark Groen]

The best way to try scripts at home is to set up your own "localhost" on
your computer using Apache. If you are using Windows the most common set up
is called WAMP - Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP. For an easy install, you can
go to this site:

I'm not hosting a domain for commercial purposes. I
want to be able to test stuff I can set up myself on
my computer and play around with it, but typing in an
address like hbc349809asdfjlkjd.ne.mediaone.net isn't
very nice. And i know I can go get
blahblah.something.com for free, I've already done
that, but I have a domain with no hosting service, so
I'd like to use that, plus I'd like to know how to set
that stuff up anyhow. It would be useful to know.
