this guide will explain how to host ur very own website using dd-wrt firmware. its not an obvious feature of the firmware but only takes a bit of work to enable the websever and begin hosting ur website for free. this guide works even if you have a dynamic ip address. if your ip address is static than that makes this guide even easier. the requirements for this guide are also extremly minimal. all you need is a router that supports ddwrt-firmware and enough free jffs space to host your website. there are other features which can be added that will make ur site more practical but at an added cost that i will go over later.
