Adsl Hosting Web
How do I host a Web Site on my computer?
i use adsl and evertime i try to make a server connection from a outside network it doesnt get to my computer? i dont understand why the configurations of my “nat” fire wall etc all of that keeps it from working right?
there’s lots to explain here, i’ll give you some good pointers and either reply and i can elaborate or do some digging for more:
1. use a service like www.tzo.com or www.no-ip.org – they will do the DNS for you, free or for a fee
2. use www.portdetective.com to see if port 80, the standard http port is open by your isp, it’s probably closed
3. use the DNS service to do port redirection, i.e. redirect requests on port 80 to port 8080 (a port that’s often open)
4. use a static IP on your machine (on your private subnet, behind the router)
5. on your rotuer (you will need a router), setup port 8080 requests to go to your static IP machine
6. run a web server on that machine, listening on port 8080
it’s not that hard and a great learning experience!
