Re: Wanting to place my hosted web on my server

Nope, It is a business web site, that very very few, would log into, It is a
stand alone server with no games. Just Quickbooks. I want my business website
to be on it. It is hosted by another company. I am afraid to have them
transfer it to my 192...., because I am not sure I have done everything
needed. Like I said. from IIS I made a new site, opened port 80, chose all
assigned IP's, now is there something else needed, before I have my host
point this at my IP? Could it be that simple. There will not be more then 1
or 2 hits a day. Thats why I see no need for hosting outside. I do not need
to reboot. If I do, I'm right there. AM I done????

Thanks in advance to you wizards.
