My first server was my windows xp desktop. I had a free subdomain at servepics.com and a dynamic dns client and we had a 0.25 mbit dsl connection. Being 12 I couldn’t figure out how to get an http server running though so I just hosted pictures with caesarFTP. I had to ask people to visit ftp://whateveritwas.servepics.com . I took a lot of party pictures with the digital camera my brother lent me. 2003 I think. This was a big deal at the time because there were no sites we knew of that allowed uploading images for free, that was a premium feature of the social network everyone was using back then called lunarstorm.
