I generally use XAMPP as the test environment, with no port open, i.e. my firewall blocks all incoming connections.

It's going to overheat and burn your house someday.), not to mention some Internet connections use dynamic IPs. A desktop PC that is "stable and reliable" in the normal desktop usage is not necessarily a stable and reliable server. Actually, it's very likely not.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. -- Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions (1624), John Donn |
