Hi,

I was wondering if some of you guys could give me some advice.

I have a normally setup websites for clients on a reseller account from a hosting company.

However I was looking at setting up my own PHP/MYSQL server in a new office.

We are looking at business broadband fibre optic cabling of 20mb, would this be fine for performance?

Also how do i manage sub domains? Normally with a web hosting company i have used Cpanel however it is far too expensive so i was wondering how do i go about setting up sub domains to ,my own server?

What o/s should it be? I have setup windows exchange servers in the past so can i use a windows server o/s but put apache on it?

any free tools that you could recommend?

Thanks for your help in advance.

i say download XAMPP or WAMPP it will have all the things you need to run it on a personal windows computer
unless you going to use linux then download like centos and pic server when installing and it will install
it auto i warn you though if you pick linux there is a learning curve on alot of things like installing programs
or file permissions and its always case sensitive
