tguy Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Create a DNS A record with your ISP or if you have your DNS parked at your home server, create the A record there that associates the IP address your using with www.name.org.uk.That should be all you need.

Ge0ph Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 You go to however you registered your domain with and from there you point your A record to your internet IP address. Then at your router you will need to forward port 80 and what ever other ports you may need to your servers internal IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valter Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If your own DNS is responsible for the domain you want to be able to browse, then you must create a Alias (WWW) record on the root of your zone for the given domain ... lets say your zone is called www.domain.co.uk and when you open your zone, you seedomain.co.uk_msdcs_sites_tcp_udpdomaindnszonesforestdnszonesfirst you have to make sure there is host record for the web server. If your server is called Server1 and you can see host record under domain.co.uk then it's ok, otherwise create one. Now create WWW alias record and point it to the Server1 ... update server data files, reload zone, and you're good to go (note that it will take some time untill DNS changes propagate over the internet, so your friend might not see it immediately unless he's using your DNS server to resolve domains on the Internet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valter Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 well if your zone is called domain.co.uk and you create alias (WWW) then www.domain.co.uk should work as well ... let it propagate over the Internet and then tray again ... propagation can take up to 72 hours and ask your friend to use his default DNS server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
