Hi friends,

I have two active internet domains, and rather than pay a hosting company to provide web space for these domains I would like to host them on my PC at home. They will be low traffic sites. I have a reliable 512kbps ADSL broadband connection.

1) How do I point these internet domains to my home IP address? So that when someone enters the domain in their web browser, internet DNS knows to point them to my home ip address of say 212.165.100.100?

2) Do I have to have a static IP address on my home PC? I currently use a dynamic IP service I think which translates a domain name to my IP address. Could I point the internet domain, to this dynamic domain, which is then resolved to my home IP address?

3) How do I configure IIS 5 to provide the correct local website on my PC according to the internet domain entered by the user in their web browser?

4) I have no idea what im doing I have been reading up so I could ask this question LOL basically want to host a website on my home pc I downloaded and installed Apache and I have no idea how to use it. Could someone kindly guide me how to link my registered domain name to my computer so I can host xoops. Mind you I also need to know where in apache I put my XOOPS files… im new to all of this part so any help greatly appreciated. Will gladly reward the person who spends a few hours with me to set this up I use msn messenger would be able to chat quickly on that if needed.

Hope I can host my XOOPS site on my pc :P

Thanks,

YH.

As Bassman so elegantly said the possibility of 2 of the same module would clash in the database and modification is required. I would start by doing the simple things renaming the second module trying to make it unique from the other that is the files and the folder of each module.

Let me know how you go with it as I may want to do this myself in the near future.

EASY DOES IT!

Oh mate by all means if a person doesn’t want to spend money on security and wants a free one I highly recommend zone its good ive used it and it is excellent. But if you want a paid one I recommend f-secure or panda. Don’t go Norton it is a program that stagnates. Hell go zone before u go norton
