Can I host my own website on my computer?

It is possible to host your own website from your own computer. However, there are some important considerations to account for first, such as how powerful your computer is, whether or not you can guarantee uninterrupted power supply and whether or not your computer can handle being on all the time, which is a requirement for a server. It may also cause your electricity bill to increase, depending on how much data you’re hosting. Check out the steps above to give it a try but also do wider research into the pros and cons of home web hosting. Even if you can meet all of the requirements, you may still want to differentiate between what you host, keeping more important things hosted externally. And, as always, make backups of everything.
