Hi, and thanks in advance for any help. I have my own dot com but would like to host it on my own webserver . I am currently running win2000 pro IIS 5.0.

Can you help me set this up or please point me in the right direction as to where I could find out.

cheers

I think if you dont post in every area that you will get a better response as this tends to piss people off. I would love to help you if I knew how to but I only use real OS's for servers (*nix) . However there are alot of micropeople over at www.frontpagewebmaster.com that might be able to help you in the server area. I know this is a pretty simple process in windows and is probably only a couple clicks away just not very secure.. Good luck.

For one thing, no one can deny that SQL Server is by far the fastest and most powerful RDBMS engine, and I'd like to see you connect to it from Linux :D

Linux does not support ASP, COM+, or a lot of other main features that people need a lot of the time. :)

Windows is a real operating system!

This about cracked me up. Yes Linux can support ASP to a point, it is called Chilisoft!


See the attached gif, this about cracked me up.

Its in good clean fun, please don't be offended. :stickout

Hello
First thing you will need is 2 DNS servers which at minimum will require two IP addresses.
If you are trying to runt his off a cable modem you may find this difficult.

You will then need to register the name servers with verisign or you will not be able to add them to your domain name at the registry.

We get a couple of instances every day of customers trying to add a single IP address of a cable modem to their domain and contacting support because it is not accepted.
The web server is the easy bit.

As for the windows thing, I have never understood why anyone would runa web server on an operating system which exists to run as a GUI (who is going to see it..... with no monitor plugged in)
But the market demands it so we offer it and its getting more an more popular.

I thought IIS was only offered in Server, Advanced Server and DataCenter?

*ignoring above posts*

IIS runs on all versions of NT, 2000, and XP. PWS (Cheap junk), runs on 95, 98, and ME.

I just give you another solution if you can't do what Gordon told you above, which requires you to have static IP address. If you don't have static IP address, you have to use dynamic DNS from third-party DNS hosting providers, I think it's free at Zoneedit but you can search for other providers at Google. You can find more information and steps to set up dynamic DNS there. Good luck!

I am sure you purchased the Microsoft Internet Connector to run it as a web server on the Internet? I think the cheapest one I've seen was around $1,700 USD for big companies and an Open License Agreement. Otherwise you void the license agreement ....
