So, I've got a domain. And I've got some rubbish broadband (can't name the company, but it was a standard 512K/256K link and no fixed IP). And obviously I've got a PC. And spare time... But no money that I want to spend on hosting :D Well, what the heck, I'll host the "site" on my PC!

Rather than running a whole suite of DNS/etc/etc/etc. stuff and overload my PC I went at the time for the cheap option of using dynip.com. So 2 days after the domain name registration I had my website registered and "hosted" on my PC. Grand!

The big problem was the content though -- as usual :-) For about a month my "site" consisted of Apache Tomcat's standard welcome page. After that it changed (a lot! :D) and had a very unreadable (due to excessive CSS/fonts/colors) version of my CV...

And that was it! :-) I've got dragged into other things and didn't get a chance to do anything about it, putting it on the backburner, on the basis that the domain was registered for 2 years (and so was the DynIP subscription) which gave me a lot of time to "do something about it" -- yeah, right! :-)
