How to build a server ?

Hi

My friends and I want to build a server to test our web page before publishing it. Can anyone please give suggestions on how to build a server ? Are there any documents out there showing us how to do this ? Thanks.

a server is just a computer with software that you can get for free

Can you suggest me which software I should use to build it ? Apache, IIS...I personally found Apache difficult to install and configure.

Yes, what software would be good to support an FTP and where can I go to get it. What are the recomended FTP server and game server requirments that you would suggest?

wait, you want to build a server just to test your webpage? if you want to do that, you can just enable the personal web server feature on your (windows based) machine.
