This program is NOT to be used as a production version web server. The Simple Server is just that, simple. It is just a method to allow access to your PC and files via the IP address you connect to. You give that IP address to others and they see web pages on your PC. The only difference is that you are only allowing access via port 80 (the HTTP port) and only to the directories that you specify in the web pages. There is no security. You will not be able to get your domain name to show because you are accessing your PC through your connection to the internet. To have your own IP address then you must have a direct connection to the internet via a static IP address. There are four methods of web hosting. 1.Shared Hosting -- Your site resides in the same server as several other sites (virtual domains). 2.Dedicated Hosting -- The web host provides a server for your site alone. 3.Colocated Hosting -- A server you own is housed at the web host's site. 4.Do-it-yourself Hosting --You maintain your own server and Internet connection at your site. Each of these have their own pro's and con's such as maintenance, backup, cost, ease-of-use, etc. Actually, these are in order for ease of use (easiest to hardest) and cost (cheapest to most expensive). -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
