Question

I have registered a domain http://ishaan.vv.si. I want that if I edit the files on my computer, then the changes are made to my site. Basically I want to host my site from my local computer on the web. Please help.

Was it helpful?

Solution

  1. Install a webserver
  2. Expose the port it runs on (probably 80) to the Internet
    • port forwarding from the router
    • public IP address assigned to the computer running the webserver
  3. Set up an A record for your DNS to point ishaan.vv.si to the IP address you are running the server on

OTHER TIPS

If you want to host your site on your local computer. 1. You need a static IP. 2. A web server like IIS, Apache running on your local computer.

You need to change your named sever of your domain to your local computer.

Then you can setup your site.
