What are the approximate expenses for getting Public IP and domain?

If u are launching ur web server on the Internet, then a) you should have a dedicated connection to the Internet. b) Once you have that, the internet clients need to have a mechanism that uniquely identifies ur machine on the internet, which is wat the public ip is( for e.g. 203.300.76.103) c) Once you get the public ip address from the ISP, your clients can access ur internet web site thru the IP. But using IP addresses for access is not practical. So your ISP also gives you a Domain name(for e.g. www.sr.com) which is mapped to the afore mentioned ip address. So when ur client wants to access the site, a) he types in the url address(www.sr.com) mentioned above in his browser. b) The url is mapped to the ip(203.300.76.103) thru the DNS servers that ISPs maintain. So the url name is resolved to the ip address c) as the ip address itself is unique, the reuqest reaches ur webserver and the page is served These are the basics as such. From a Developer/Architect point of view, u dont need to worry bout these details. If u want to launch ur web server on the internet, u just need to contact ur ISP and they do the rest for u(thanx to the efficiency of private ISPs :) ). hope this helps regards, sr View other groups in this category. ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/BDotNet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
