Week 2

Web Hosts

Did some research on hosting your own website from a personal computer:

https://www.cloudwards.net/how-to-host-your-own-website/ Pros/Cons of hosting your own website:

Pros:	Cons:
You have complete control over the site You don’t have to pay for a web hosting service.	You don’t have customer support Less storage space You need 2 computers and one of them needs to be running constantly

From everything that I have learned, it seems that using a web hosting service is really the only direction I can go if I want this to be a long-term thing…

A website is a collection of one or more web pages

A web page includes: rendered view (what you see when you load the website)

and a source view (the code that determines what the rendered view looks like)

Hamrick Interview

• Lovett does not have web servers, but does have other servers (security cameras, files (word docs and stuff), door access)

AWS (amazon) or microsoft server- possibly

Virtual cloud server?

• The data on campus is decreasing- most things are on virtual machines now. Data backed up on campus but also backed up on the cloud and on another server.
• Suggests to look into a cloud based web server to host my website on- where the future of computing is going.


• Could potentially have a small personal computer connected to the lovett network (might be worth looking into)- would be local.
