Is it possible to run my own web server (Apache) with my best account?
i.e. I've just downloaded Apache, and I want to install it and have it running as server  on the machine my best.com account sits at. I have a static IP address, so I thought this might be something that could be done.

I wanted to do this to get some hands-on experience of managing a web server. I'm just starting to learn web master stuff. i.e. I'm reading the acclaimed "How to Set up and Maintain a World Wide Web Site" by Lincoln Stein.

    No, sorry.  

    If you want to mess around with Apache, I suggest setting up one of 
    your home machines with FreeBSD or Linux and installing it there.

Also available for Windoze now. Not quite the same but .... certainly
an option for someone starting out. Beats the heck out of IIS, IMO!
