How to Turn your Home Computer into a Web Server

Steps To Turn your Home Computer into a Web Server:

  1. First of all open the Opera Web browser on your PC and then from the lower left corner of the browser, select the Opera Unite service and enable it.
  2. Once the service has been enabled successfully then you will now need to add up your particular files or folders etc to this service so that you can host them on it. To add up the files which you want to host, double click on the File sharing link from the Opera Unite and then select up the folders and files that you want to share on the web.
  3. The selected files will be then shared or hosted and hence can be accessed over the internet on either any specified device or to every device publicly. This privacy you will be setting afterwards and you can also set that up easily through the provided options inside.
  4. If you feel like that your files or folders that you share are not secure then you can also add up the passwords to them or just get up the direct share links for them without any passwords.

  5. Keep in mind that while your PC works to host your files, it will have to be running all the time so that you can have Access of your files on the other devices through the links. You should also take care that your PC should be connected to the live internet connection so that it can host up the files unless it would fail to work.
  6. Opera Unite won’t be caching any data from the internet, therefore, you won’t have to worry about the collection of trash files or data by the working of the software.
