Don't know how a server work.
Well, i don't know how a server work, please explain me.
A server is a PC or a PC without mouse, monitor and other machines?
Does a simple PC can have a site on (like AO)? Or only a server can?
How i control a server?
If i've made a site and publish it on net, should i be connect on net everytime, to allow people to see it? Or they call and i only pick up the phone?
Questions need answers.

A server can have a mouse and a monitor. In fact the pc im using now is my linux webserver, and its just a pc I use with the server software. So yes a simple PC can have a site on it like antionline, although I doubt that any simple pc could handle the loads that antionline gets. To control a webserver like apache, you would need enough knowledge to configure the text files and the modules. If you made a site and wish for everyone to see it, there are many options available such as hosting services, but the most flexibilty possible is aquired through your own webserver. It would be best to have an always on connection to keep your site up at all times, so a dial up connection wouldnt be that great, also the speed of dial up is very limiting. Also consider the fact that you need a very stable OS to be sure that your site is up all the time, although you can run a webserver on a Windows 98 box, it isnt known to be a very stable OS.
