=============================================

Good question, little bit confusing But I think I got you...



If you want to create a Website without Web hosting providers like yahoo geocities and similar sites, you should do the following



1. First of all You MUST Register you websites name (i.e. www.yourname.com) Which is not FREE of course.

There are so many domain registration providers (including yahoo too) I think u r smart enought to find one for you.



2. And to host you website, you can use your OWN COMPUTER.

to do so, you need to install special softwares to convert your computer to a Webserver. In this case, the website will be saved on your own computer in a Seperate folder and the Webserver will listen to port 80 (common but can be changed).

Whenever someone request your website, he will be directed to your computers IP address (Not Local ot Private IP) and the Webserver will serve the page requested by the user.



It is more complicated, But that is the answer for you.



The Most popular + a very good Webserver is Apache and more than 80% of websites are using this today (i.e google.com)

Apache is integrated in Linux OS and most of the Webservers has Linux with Apache.



Anyway, you can install Apache on Windows too (most simple way) or you can use Microsoft IIS webserver for Windows XP and greater (included in the Windows Setup Disc but not installed with Windows)



I know about Apache only.



Its NOT easier to achieve your goal, you'll need lots of work and search. Below are the related links I've found yet which is definitely helpful

You can create a website with any program that you choose. Try using the free downloads available to help you choose which program you would like to use. Without a host site (website)? You'll need a hosting site to upload your website to so other people can see it. Without that, your site will not actually be on the internet. I think I've understood your question, if not, sorry.

If you have a static IP address (not changing often like a Broadband/DSL connection with your own router ip address and a single pc)



Download and install any web server software you like from this list (all are Free and I Highly recommend) :



1. Abyss Web Server For Windows

2. KF Web Server

http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/KF_Web_Server/kfweb.html

3. Baby Web Server

4. Apache

http://httpd.apache.org/



- the top 3 are very simple to use, apache is a little complicated -

Useful tutorial on how to setup a personal home web server:

If you are using a dynamic IP address like a dial-up connection (which change everytime you logon the internet) or if you use a broadband connection with a shared router for many PCs u should use first a service like :



http://www.no-ip.com/

http://www.dyndns.com/



after your done, you can give your IP address/website address away to your friends for example to open the website on your own personal computer

you need a host...if you don't want to get one, then use your own computer as a server, though if the site has high traffic your ISP could terminate your service

you can make a wemsite by buying a server and setting it up at home
