The Pi itself was an earlier purchase, which then was succeeded by a transparent case and tiny heat-sinks, both of which you can find plenty on Amazon. Its real-world use is practically endless, it’s extremely cheap and reasonably simple to use, not to mention, it’s literally pocketable. The second reason was the novelty of the Raspberry Pi.

The reason for going down this route was two-folded.įirst of all, all the micro-servers out there start at around £150 and I just wasn't prepared to spend that sum for something that I am experimenting with. It’s small, uses next to no power and it cost me around £50! It’s called the Raspberry Pi Web Server, and I put the entire thing together myself.

The idea of having my own server for my own website just sounded cool. Servers are probably not every web developer’s concern, not to mention fascination, I however sometime during my CCNA training back in the day, decided that one day I’ll set up a server of my own.
