Connect a domain with my home server

Hello

I have bought an domain, from godaddy.com
I have installed a web server to my PC, and I want to run that site from my PC

How I can connect the domain with my PC? (dynamic IP)

Well, technically you could with say DynDNS http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ .

However, you might want to check with your ISP to see if you can host a site on your personal account because for most ISPs, it would be a breach of contract if you do so and may lead to the termination of your internet account. Business classed Internet Accounts with static IPs may come with the rights to host your own site behind their network.

 

If you want a good uptime fro your website, isnt recommended what you wanna do

 

I have my PC 24 hours per day open.. Don't close..

Also, I want to to that, to setup it etc ;-)

 

what about security? about some changes in your ISP provider.... in all this time your site will be down. If you dont care about SEO and SERP...

 

JimKarvo, To be honest, that isn't the best idea to run a server off of your main pc. (Usage, power outages, electricity bill, security, longer wait time)

It is just worth it to buy a server for $5.00 or lower a month, just my two cents.

 

Hm.. I will buy a server, but I want to do some test.. In other case, could someone suggest me an free server?

Personally, I don't know which ones you can apply your own domain or if they do allow that now, but www.freewebs.com is pretty good I think.

 

But its a personal website? why it dont deserve a decent hosting? 2-3$... come on, give it a chance ! You think is cheaper if you buy a server?

 

it is a waste of money. unless if your site cannot be catered by a shared server, like a site that gets too much traffic.

 

i also havethis problem.

i know all the downsides but i still want to do it.

So does anyone know how to make my godaddy domain point to my home server?

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
