Step 1:
first you need a domain, if you have not got one then visit
www.joker.com and get
your domain.
Step 2:
With a active domain you need a messaging service which can forward requests to
view you page and email traffic to your home IP number. I use
www.zoneedit.com, they are reliable, fairly easy to
use and free for the first 5 domain names.
Sign up
and register your domain with them, you will also need your home IP address.
Step 2.1
set up IP forwarding as above, use you own domain though and replace the x’s
with you IP address.
Step 3. Your local router will need to know which computer to
forward your web requests to. This could be you server or your own PC depending
on your setup. I have a server tucked away under the stairs which is on 24/7. To
complete this process open you routers web page and locate the forwarding
section. Set the required ports which will be similar to mine below. Port 80
isthe default for web forwarding.
Step 4:
Next you need to configure Internet Information Services (IIS). I use V7 and
this guide reflects that.
Select
Add a new web site by highlighting the Sites link and clicking the right mouse
button.
Add details like above but use your own domain name and not
testsite.com. The physical path is where your actual web site code will be
stored when you publish your web site.
Click on
the new site and select bindings in the right side menu options. Complete your
bindings similar to above.
Refresh
the Default Web site list and your new sites virtual directory should appear.
This is where you place your actual web side (html/asp etc etc) code.This is the
path you set as per the second IIS screenshot above.
Finnaly
restart IIS
Coming
soon Forwarding web request from IIS to Tomcat so that Java websites can be
serviced on the same server as your ASP.Net web sites.
