I’ve changed the web host of my blog. I’ve switched from a shared-hosting server I had with some friends to my own private web server. Since I have the privilege of having a dedicated fiber connection to my home at Cyprus from Cablenet, I used my unused Mac Mini Core 2 Duo as server. Mac OS X is already a server-grade Operating System, no issues there.
Mac Mini is actually a good candidate for a personal server. It is fast, silent, and power-efficient (just 110W, according to Apple). I currently run MySQL/Apache/PHP (AMP Server). It currently hosts my blog and a private wiki/blog/calendar as a database of organizing all my PhD-related information.
Aw, it also keeps automatic backups, thanks to Time Machine.
