Q&A: Would it make sense to run my own WordPress server?
Question by matthewspeed: Would it make sense to run my own WordPress server?
My wife is getting into the website creation business as an adjunct to her internet advertising sales and believes she want to run it on wordpress. Being the former IT professional I am I have considered setting up my own Linux box on my LAN to test this. While it could be internet facing through my dedicated DSL connection the purpose of this is mostly for learning. It would be hosted outside for live clients. Other than a bunch of headaches, what would I get out of running my own dedicated server over running a free wordpress site or using a dedicated external host for this?
Note: the main reason I am considering this is that she wants to be able to offer her clients http://www.yourdomainname.com access to their site versus http://wordpress.org/yoursitename. I know there are sites wherein this can be done but those cost money. I thought, if it wasn't too hard, that I could set up a host to use for learning before paying money.
At the risk of sparking a religious war, if this would make sense does anyone have an recommendations? My goal is to get the system up and working as easily as possible. I am not going to do ongoing Linux development; I simply want a box on which I can host a wordpress site.
I found this site http://technologycrowd.com/2010/01/02/install-wordpress-on-local-ubuntu-server/ with complete step by step instructions. I am open to alternatives if something easier exists.
Thanks to those that already answered. To add to my question, I would never run a client site from my house. The purpose of this is so that she could try something out, decide she doesn't like it and tell me "reset it so I can try again." I know all about domain registration (my bulkregister account still has 47 domains registered for clients) but again, the point was to give myself a sandbox over which I have full control.
Yes, I have a static IP address. In fact, I run a Windows 2003 small business server as my mail server and domain controller for my house.

Answer by roderick_young
If you're already an IT guy that knows Linux, it couldn't hurt to try. Your dedicated DSL line has a static IP, right?
I think the biggest gain from havnig your own server is that if it goes down, you can fix it right away. Also, no one will be breathing down your neck about disk space or bandwidth. But you still need to pay to register the domain name, of course, same as you would if you hired a web host from someone else.

Is it legal to create website template similar to someone else’s?
Question by : Is it legal to create website template similar to someone else's?
There is a professional WordPress theme which I like very much. But since my website is not on WordPress so I created a similar theme in CSS for my site. I wrote all the code myself. This means that I did not copy a single sentence of their code. But the layout and colors etc. of the original theme and of mine resemble about 80%. Is it allowed legally to create website template similar to someone else's?
Thank You

Answer by Foster
With the same layout, yes. With parts of the graphics taken, no.
If there is no copyright, yes regardless.
From what you described, it sounds like you will be ok.
