I wanted to have a local mail server for myself, and I have tried some programs that allow you to host a mail server from your computer, however, every program was asking me to enter something about domains...
I didnt know what to put there... My no-ip.com domain?

I would, if I had a credit card, or a paypal account...
Also, I dont want to have a cool website, just to test things
It would also be cool to send emails from my mobile phone using my own email server...

I just got another .be domain. Its free and requires nothing .... well ... just like that day a month back, you need to know your own (i mean no-ip's) name server(s) (if any )

lol i got my own hosting. I am willing to give people i know small testing places as long as they wont abuse the services. It is just a testing service

I suggest dempsey (if he gets the dam server teoubles fixed, 3rd server now eh) Provides all you need plus support at cheap prices. (or if dempsey's server does not come back go dreamhost for sure)

Umm did you read the thread? Methos wants to know how to have a host on his own computer, he said that he already has hosting (with traxor)

What type of specs should a server need it to host files or a webpage?

A lot of ram, nothing special. and 24/7 access.

My system has this specs:
Motherboard: MSI KT4V
CPU: AMD XP 2500+ (overclocked to 2.02GHz)
RAM: 512 MB DDR400
Hard Drive: Wester Digital 250 GB 7200 RPM ATA (aka PATA)
Internet: DSL 512 kbps download / 128 kbps upload

And still it works great, but I could see the difference of performance of my computer if I had a better internet connection...

Actually, apache works fine with a Pentium III 1.06 GHz and 252MB RAM (graphics card steals some)
