How Can I Map IIS on My PC with Static IP to my Domain Name?

  • 772

Now I have got an internet connection with Static Ip.

I want to know How can I map my website to my Static IP(Received from ISP).

I know this is not a good Idea for Security and Performance issues, But just Wanted to know as I can set up a test Project.

Again, Can't I just by a domain name and map it to my Static Ip, instead of buying them from WebHosting Providers. Now I have bought the space from bizzhost and hosted my site by setting the Name Server.

Thanks, Subhen

    As long as your ISP gives you access to a DNS control panel you would just need to update your A record to point to your new static IP. Check with your host for exact details on how to do it since every control panel is slightly different.

    Allow 48 hours for changes to take affect since DNS replication takes time.

  2. Do you have a domain name yet or not? If not, you'll need to purchase one. You can purchase one from any domain name vendor you wish, but I recommend using one of the larger ones like Network Solutions or GoDaddy. Once you've purchased a domain name you'll need to set up your DNS records with whomever is going to host your DNS namespace, I recommend using the vendor that you purchase the domain name from. Then you'll need to set up port forwarding on your firewall\router to allow HTTP traffic to get to your internal host.
