Hello.
I am thinking of converting my PC into a web server. I am running 2 websites that I pay around $10 each a month for and I am thinking of canceling the hosting on the sites and having the domains redirected to my new web server. I have the necessary software and internet connection ready, but what I do have a question about is how much electricity can I expect my computer to use since it will have to be up and running 24/7?
The computer will have a single 40 GB hard drive, 3.0 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and the monitor will be off for 99% of the time. I can't tell you what the going electricity rate is for my city, but I'd say it's probably close to average.
If I convert my PC to a web server how much do you think I might save compared to the $20 a month that I am paying now for web hosting?
Thanks in advance.
