OK.....I am planning on hosting a few websites. I set up IIS and I have also set up port forwarding on my router to access the machine with IIS. When an external user types in my domain name that i own, say 1234.com how will that request know to hit my machine? I have set up the website - added the IP ( of the machine ) and added the description. Register.com is the registrar and currently the DNS servers point to theirs. Do I change the DNS server address to point to my static IP ( from my ISP ) ?
I can access the site internally bit not externally so I know I have missed a step.
If anyone can help or suggest a good book to get please help....Much appreciated.
