This costs money, so how about setting up your own personal web server. . . for free?! This means you have total control over whatever you choose to install. So, how to do it. Aside from the obvious (a computer, a broadband connection and a router with a firewall) you need a fixed IP address and web server software.

Install the software provided on your server. This will then check your IP address, and tells...

If you think that you won’t be downloading or storing much, then a lower Mac storage option would suit your needs better, but it’s important to know the average file sizes of things you like to...
