The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I want to build Web Server-What do I need?

Asked by thomjw in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: build, how, web

Hi all,
I want to build my first home server. I want it to be able to be accessed from anyone on the web that has the address. I want it to host a small web page of mine, and be a ftp server (with password). I have 3 pc's and 2 macs at home. I want it accessable to all for networking storage stuff, and remote app loading, and for backing up from all the machines at home. My main question is, if I want to build a server box and use Mac OS X server software, how would I build a server box? And if I were to use Win 2000 server software, can I just use an old 800mg processor pc as the server box? If I use the win2000 server software will it work with the macs? If I use the Mac X server software will it work with the windows pc's? Isn't there a problem with trying to build a machine that you can put Mac software on? I heard you can't like you can just build a pc box? Oh, and last question, how do I register a domain name? I just want a web address name that people can type in and go directly to my web site that I want to set up on my own little server at home. I don't want to pay some large company to do what I should be able to do, right? Who can a small future businessman like me talk to to get a specific .com name put on the web? so it goes to my own server and web site? I know, lots of questions, but hopefully there are lots of answers too!!
thanks anyone,
Tom W.
