Question
HI Marty --.i wanna know what it takes to setup ones own dns and run a website with ftp application.what are the soft and hardware requirements to host a web site
Thanks --derrick

Answer
Derrick,

You can get free DNS service from http://www.zoneedit.com/. You will still need to register your domain with a public registrar though, and that can be had for less than $10/yr.

Also you'll need to set up a web server which obviously needs internet access. If you can get a static ip address from your ISP that will be the best way to go.

Let me know if you have more questions. Have you decided yet which platform to run your server on? eg. Unix, Windows?
