Re: Wanting to place my hosted web on my server

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I have a small Dell server. It has remote access. I just want people to type
www.mydomain.com and have it on my server rather then having it hosted. I
think the DNS wuestion is no. I made a sight I ipload the page, I can browse
it from within the server. BUT. It is still hosted at another place. How do I
turn it off there and point it to me? Other then Makeing the site with "Make
web site, port 80, all assigned IP's, did, I miss something?. Yes I am a
beginner on servers, But, I made one heck of a page and am great with PC's.
Just not a lot of help out there on servers and w2ks. Just need some more
pointers. Of course I see a lot of recommedations to NOT host my own web.
But, I would like to try. I aked some questions before that I believe do not
apply.. Summary, I created a site in IIS and assigned port 80, all assigned
IP's , gave it my name(www.) now. pointing suggestions.

You guys are still the best to take your valuable time to help the newbies.
