All of these applications and database are now running on my machine at home, serving this site to the web. No more web hosting ever again for me thanks to no-ip.com – dynamic DNS all the way from now on. Sorry Time Warner.
The WordPress template I’m using needs a lot of work but I’m just happy I got a new router, firewall, and this site up in under one day. Never again will I need to FTP files. My total cost for running this site is $45 a year including the domain registration.
