A home server is a device, typically a PC or other computer, connected to a home network that provides services to other devices in the household. Such services may include file and/or printer serving, media center serving, web serving, account authentication, and domain control (for faster network browsing). Because of the relatively low number of computers on a home network, a home server commonly does not contain latest or fastest hardware. Often, users recycle older systems, and home servers with processors of 1GHz and 256mb of RAM are common and perform decently. Large, preferably fast hard drives (ATA-100 or Serial ATA) and a network interface card are usually all the hardware required for home file serving. An uninterruptible power supply is recommended in case of power outages that can possibly corrupt data.

Operating systems

Home servers can run any operating system; some can run without graphical user interfaces (which makes more resources available for other tasks), and can be administered remotely through a command shell, or graphically through programs such as VNC, Webmin, or many others.

Users of Microsoft Windows may purchase additional copies (around US$85 to ~$400 and beyond) to use on a home server, or opt for free, open source solutions such as Linux or BSD UNIX that can be installed on any number of machines with minimal license restrictions.

Home server scenarios

Most home networks do not have or need servers, but hobbyists find good use for them. Most of the home servers today do not offer any services to the public internet, and operate as simple media-oriented devices. Many are simply glorified Network Attached Storage devices and other consumer devices to integrate TV's and gaming consoles with the PC and sometimes the internet.

Centralized storage

Home servers often act as network attached storage providing the major benefit that all users' files can be centrally and securely stored, with flexible permissions applied to them. Such files can be easily accessed 24/7 from any other system on the network, provided the correct credentials are supplied. This also applies to shared printers.

Such files can also be shared over the internet to be accessible from anywhere in the world using services such as FTP

Media serving

Home servers are often used to serve multi-media content, including photos, music, and video to other devices in the household (and even to the Internet; see Place Shifting and Orb). Using standard protocols such as DLNA or proprietary systems such as iTunes users can access their media stored on the home server from any room in the house. Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows Vista can act as a home server, supporting a particular type of media serving that streams the interactive user experience to Media Center Extenders including the XBox360.

On a Linux server, there are many open-source (free), fully-functional, all-in-one software solutions for media serving available. One such program is LinuxMCE, which allows other devices to boot off a hard drive image on the server, allowing them to become appliances such as set-top boxes. Asterisk, Xine, MythTV (another media serving solution), VideoLAN, SlimServer, and many other open-source projects are fully integrated for a seamless home theater/automation/telephony experience. Such services, if offered in a proprietary package, would cost around $100,000 (including hardware and tailored household programming)[1].

On an Apple Macintosh server (or peer-to-peer node), Front Row may be used.
