Question about home server

[stuartmecham]

I have set up a home server, and need to be able to put my IP (external ISP IP) to a domain name if you understand what i mean?


Thanks

do you mean you want to point your domain name at your server so that anyone visiting your domain will connect to your home server? if so you'll need a "Static" IP address from your ISP (around £5 amonth) which then you'll need to point your domain name at this IP address, i'm sure your ISP will fill you in on all the in's and out's....

Take a look at http://www.no-ip.com :)

What I did, was went into my whm, added a DNS zone for the domain, pointed the nameservers to my nameservers and made a A name on my server that went to my home server.

Hope this helps a bit.
