Hi, First you need to point your domain to your server. You need DNS for that purpose. Install and configure one DNS server at your machine or you could go for any DNS forwarding provided by third parties. Once DNS is installed create a dns zone for your domain name and create the A record, SOA NS MX records etc.. Now you need to create web domain at IIS. From administrative tools goto Internet Information service and on RHS right click on websites and go for new website. 1 There you need to give host header which your domain name, set IP and port 80. 2 Also some permission need to be set , Read, Run scripts such as ASP will do your work. 3 You also need to specify the root folder of your domain. 4 Please note IUSR_machinename user need to have read permission on this folder. Please try this and let us know updates..
