Jon,
I would really forget about hosting any web site that was to be access by
"outsiders". With godaddy.com (or anyone for that matter) it is under $5 /
month to register a domain name and to have hosting space.
If you have an internal domain name of 'mycompanyd.lan' then no one from the
outside can get to it anyway.....well, not unless you make that
possible....and I am not sure how you would do that!
It is just so inexpensive these days to keep your web site "public" and
forgo that whole security issue. Do you really want outsiders to be able to
access your server?

I'm wondering the same thing, although my internal domain is
mycompanyd.lan,
but when people try to access my public domain name mycompany.com I want
them
to be redirected to an external hosted website (ie, by one of the free
hosting websites, such as Homestead.com)
Eventually, I will use IIS to host, but for now I just want to redirect
queries to my public domain to this external website. How do I do this?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi everyone,
I have a SBS2003 installation. My domain is "mycompany.com" and
Exchange works fine getting all emails directly thanks to MX record
set up at my ISP.
The problem is that when I try to reach my website, which is hosted by
my ISP, I get either PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED (from local PCs) or
default SBS2003 website if tried directly on the server. Can someone
tell me how to redirect www requests to my ISP ?
Any help appreciated.
If your AD domain name is also mycompany.com (as in, it matches your
public
domain name), your internal users will have problems connecting to
*external* hosts on mycompany.com, because SBS thinks it is authoritative
for that domain name, and won't find stuff like www, mail,
whatever.mydomain.com inside. This is one of the main reasons that it
isn't
recommended to use the same DNS domain name inside as well as outside.
To work around this, open DNS on the SBS server in admin tools, and in
the
forward lookup zone, add a host called www - and point it at the correct
public IP.
