Tutorial:how to turn your computer into a powerfull server:)
My dear friends,
I got this idea after my problems with my servers at Rackspace(they dont have physical video cards,despite asking 1000-3000 dollars per month for them,I cannot install a GUI on any of them,the physical ones only have one ipv4 address and due to the shortage at Rackspace they only offer ip addressed to virtual machines with ssl certificates)

Why shall I pay 1000 dollars per month when I can turn my own computer into a server?
The only thing I need to do is to download Centos last version 7.2 from the net,format the SSD,install the system,install Cpanel on top of it ,recompile Apache and download and unpack the backup of my 7 websites...

Things to have in mind
1.the backup fie itself is 59 GB now so I need to remove all the softaculous backups and remake it..37 GB now,it occupies 163 GB when installing so I need 220 GB at least free on my 250 GB SSD which means minimal install for Centos server
2.my own computer has an Ipv4 address but is dynamic and RDS my ISP changes it whenever I stop my computer...which means I need to keep it on all the time...electrical consumption shall be 1.5 KW per hour or 36 per day or 1 mega Watt per month:))-I need a nuclear plant near Cluj now:)))
3.special care:setup the hostname to something like zeus.democratie-virtuala.com and not apollo.localhost.localdomain in order to propagate cpanel properly ,also setup the passwd for root:) ad install cpanel before anything else

There are some Apache servers for Windows,also Cpanel for windows but the performance is really poor..also Windows tends to eat up space very quickly
and to have great windows rot on 10:)

so the steps are
1.download and burn centos to a dvd
2.format SSD and install centos
3.download and install cpanel and start it
4.recompile apache and optimize it for trillions of people(100000 servers,20000 children,20000 forks,100000 threads)-max numbers,initial numbers remain the same
5.keep the computer online all the time in order to prevent ip address changing-alternatively email or phone rds guys and girls:)
6.buy a redundant powersupply maybe ,a more powerfull graphics card ,a second motherboard,a second cpu,more memory
I have seen my server using up to 22.24 CPUs at time and using up to 50 GB of memory (Ram) at one time,space needs to be 250 GB min,SSD not HDD for fast access from the billions of the people of the planet
7.buy a palace or a larger house since I cant sleep at night in one room where the computer is always on:)))

Nice post, I'd like to set something up exactly like this. Right now I'm a reseller with unlimited bandwidth & storage for 25 USD. From dimereseller.com been with them for 7 years cuss I don't know how to set up what you just explained.

Wouldn't I need to setup linux first?

Nice tutorial. Warning for Americans: this'll likely get you kicked off your ISP.

QUOTE
in the United States the vast majority of ISPs have it written in their TOS (Terms of Use) and/or AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) "no servers" in very plain English for consumer-grade accounts.

They may not enforce it if traffic is low, but idk.
