 The whole premise of the homebrewserver.club is the simple — yet often overlooked — fact that your home internet subscription theoretically also allows you to host services. The internet is in its essence a bi-directional medium. Anyone with an internet connection can not only look up on-line content but also host it! 
 
 In times of 'cloud providers' and 'virtual private servers' it is an easy thing to forget, and internet service providers don't make it easy on you either, but a homebrew server can be as simple as an old laptop connected directly to your home router. However, you do need to change some settings on the router to make that happen!

+##Introduction
+
+Ever wanted to host your own website from the comfort of your own house? Ever wondered how to achieve this? Search no further! This guide will help you with the installation of web server software, which is what allows a computer to start handling HTTP requests and serve web content in response.
+
+Besides helping you with the installation, this guide will help you getting the right certificates, configuring your server and publishing your homebrewserved website.
+
+The instructions on this guide were run on a Debian Stretch distribution.
+
+
+##Requirements
+
+- A spare computer.
+- A basic understanding of the command line.
+- An [ssh server and client](ssh.html) installed
+- Have an available power socket next to your router.
+- An ethernet cable to connect your server to the router.

+## Installing Apache
+
+The Apache HTTP server is a free and open-source web server software and it has been around since 1995, being the most widely used server software in the world. Because of this, documentation is plentiful and the support community is very large, meaning that help is quite easy to get for any of your server issues.   
+For this reason, Apache has been selected for this guide.
+
+There are, of course, other web server software available, the most popular of which being Nginx. Nginx, which is also free and open-source software, arrived on the scene circa 2004, and it has also become a favourite for its resource efficiency.
+
+If you want to geek out further about the differences between Apache and Nginx, [this article](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/apache-vs-nginx-practical-considerations) gives you an overview.
+
+So, without further ado, open a terminal window and let's get started:
+
+First, make sure you have the newest package versions by updating your package lists and then upgrading these packages:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo apt update && upgrade
+```
+Then, install the Apache HTTP server software:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo apt install apache2
+```
+
+If all went well, Apache should have been started immediately after installation. To double check this, run:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo systemctl status apache2
+```
+
+Example output:
+```bash
+● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
+   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset:
