Host your own Private Virtual Server

So, you are in love with the internet? Do you get amazed by the wonders it does like in every minute? Wanted to contribute quite a good stuff on it and make you known to the world? Well, then certainly you will need this private cloud computing system too!! Going the cloud computing is usually quite a big company thing and usually is not preferred by small web entrepreneurs. But this doesn’t mean one cannot try and make your cloud computing system.

Such an interesting experiment has been implemented by Matthias Rüedlinger, who uses Ubuntu 12.04 and VirtualBox to create a virtual machine. No high end hardware and certainly no high cost either. In his blog post, Matt details with the commands needed as well the installation and other machine changes which the user would need to while making this blog.

This task is certainly not for anyone to just start and finish but any enthusiast with need and patience would take care of it. If you are running a blog or a website which is growing day by day, you can ease down your work through this virtual machine.

This tutorial is a clear example on how powerful can open source software turn out. If this virtual machine can be installed on some about to disappear hardware, then their longevity will definitely increase (imagine your good ol’ desktop computer here).
