domain name help

Is your IP static?

If so then it's really easy, just visit any domain name company (there are thousands on the web, I personally use ukreg.com), purchase a domain and then use it to point to your machine (they will have specific instructions on how to do that).


You best check that the terms & conditions for @home allow the running of public servers though.

my ip is static.  I will look at the site you suggested.  I went to other site and when I went to register the domain name it wanted to know my nameservers for the domain or they said I could use there's but there didn't seem a way to have it point to my address.

Well ukreg have a very good configuration tool.


Alternatively, you can set up your own DNS and run it at www.granitecanyon.com
