Moved server

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 07.2006

Hello,

I recently ended my hosting with a company and I now have the option to host my site from home. I have an ADSL connection with static IP address and I have set up SME Server on a spare computer (also acting as our firewall). What I need to figure out now is every step required to make my domain name now point to my IP address. I know plenty about web development but this is the first time I have set up my own web server.

Thanks.

@bathurst_guyauthorSep 10.2006 — Fantastic, thank you heaps.

I ended up using www.mydomain.com, which provided me with a free DNS service, aswell as email forwarding and more. Exactly what I wanted.
