We know that we can share our photos, videos and files to our friends or to the public by uploading it to websites like flickr, youtube, rapidshare etc.

But think of the idea of sharing your files from your computer to the public or to access yourself from your office or from any computer connected to the internet without uploading to any third party servers.

To be precise, can we host our website from our desktop with unlimited storage and bandwidth without the mercy of ISP vendors?

Meet Purplenova-self hosting concept launched by three Indians.
