questions about making a home server
Post Body
Ok I have been searching through the interwebs and I want to build a home server. Here is what I want to do 1. Storage of course (backup all important things) 2. Torrents 3. Media Server 4. Website hosting ( just my websites for now more later however no popular websites) 5. Email Maybe 6. OS installations over Ethernet ( just a wish)
7. Virtual machines maybe
My question is do I really need to buy server hardware or can I buy PC hardware I have seen tons of websites and videos saying that both will do it so I need to know where the line is that I would need a server rack.
Other information Users accessing the system = 4 at most usually 2 or 1 Also should I use Windows server or FreeNAS or something else
TIA
