Ok well I am a complete noob at this. I want to set up my computer as a host for a website. The website isn't big or anything and doesn't require much space. I am planning on setting up an external hardrive I have or my computer to work as the host for a domain I'll register from Godaddy.com. This is basically what I want to know:
1. You need always on internet connection like comcast right?
2. If I had my computer or my external harddrive as the host would the website go down if I turned of my computer or external harddrive?
3. Are there any security risk, if so what are they?
and Finally...
4. How do I set it up? Point me to a guide, explain it, whatever...
