Sorry, I forgot to mention that part of it. Your ISP must point the name, www.mydomain.com to the IP address You choose if you have more than one to designate. You can't quite totally host your own site, you need the ISP set up to point at the Name. Contact them and they should be able to set it in a 24 hour period. HTH
