Hiya, I don't think so. The server seems to have a lot of stuff already on it...An Apache web server, Postfix, etc. I'm just a bit overwhelmed by the idea of doing the whole website thing. I'm not creating anything too elaborate, but I did contemplate the idea of starting up a small personal mud or the like. The possibilities just seem rather endless now that I have the domain.
