Then the simple way would be to find a Web Hoster and have them host your
website. No complexities of hosting and securing a server, friends/family
can still visit the website, and you have control of its content.
Reality is, as soon as you put a server up, the entire world will visit it,
including your family. Most of the non-family members will likely visit with
malicious intent, and if you do not become a whiz they will walk all over
you.
When you talk about Computers and Security, it is like talking about Cars
and Safety. It is constantly changing and improving. And when you say:
> I only run my server for fun and a couple of friends and family visit
> it.So how should I go about making it more secure?
It is analogous to saying:
"I only drive my car for fun for a couple of friends and family, so how
should I go about making it more safe?"
In the case of the car, you would buy the car with the safety features and
use them. You wouldn't try to assemble it together. In the case of the
server, where you have all the pieces, you either need to know how to
assemble it properly, or you buy the end product of someone else who has it
together.
And since you say you are a simple man with simple goals and not a computer
whiz nor understand all the tech talk, I suggest you go with professional
Web Hosters like 1and1.com
