Hi. Araneus diadematus, cross orb weaver. Not big on indoor living, they have a big appetite so a lot of flying insects it could survive.
I was going to produce a video how to keep these indoors, usually means providing some insects and water for them.

Crickets,cockroches, they love earwigs, anything that flies smaller than they are.
A very light web misting a few times a week. Only thing left is a name.
Hi Bugman Dan, I keep my house spiders hydrated by having lots of house plants. I water from the top and spiders climb down to drink the water droplets off of the leaves.
