I want to create my own web server from home. My question is where is the best place to start. I have a good internet connection (100mbps) and three laptops, one of which is constantly connected to the internet. I have a domain name registered already, and would simply like to know how to upload files to it on my own server. Any sort of resource or advice would be appreciated.What is the best way to set up your own server?

You wouldn't upload files to a server locally. You would copy them over.
It depends on your operating system, whether you're using windows or unix. You can download apache for windows - do a search for xampp on google, download and follow the instructions.What is the best way to set up your own server?
Oh dear god do -not- use XAMPP for a server that you plan to
make accessible to the general public. Even they clearly state on
their website that XAMPP is not meant for live servers, it's
meant as a local web server environment. Unless you're looking
to put a huge neon sign above your house saying: "Please
hack my serverbox's crappy security and reap havoc on my
entire network".
Read up on Apache if you're trying to create a web server and
follow their steps carefully when setting it up. Their website is
a great resource for getting started.
