New Web Server

Question

I currently have have three web sites hosted through GoDaddy.com.  I would like to set up my own server for myself and a few friends.  Possibly 15 - 20 web sites.  Most sites would be information only, with two or three needing the ability to sell online.  I have no idea what all I would need to purchase, of if it would even worth the time, effort, and money.  Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks, Trey.  :)

First you need a solid fast connection and a static IP. You can get around this using some free DNS services but their cruddy imo.   Get your server and your sites setup on it. Update the domain(s) information with your registrar to point to your static IP. If you only have one, which it sounds like you will, you'll need to configure the host headers/ports on all the different sites in IIS. This is how you would handle hosting multiple sites usign a single static IP.

I have a webserver with SuSE Linux and ispconfig, I don't have a static ip, I used zoneedit free dns service and one linksys wrt54g with ddwrt firmware is to easy make your webserver!
