hello guys,

I have a webserver setup at home and my previous ISP used to open port 80 for me to run the webserver. Now i switched to Verizon Fios and they block port 80 for residential customers. Business service is way too expensive for me to afford right now. So I have my server running on port 81.

I can see the main page of my server from external networks if I go to:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx:81

Is there anyway for me to direct a domain (example: www.lowell.com) to my ip: xx.xx.xx.xx:81 ?

thanks guys!

if you don't want to pay you can use the http://www.no-ip.com/ service.

or when you buy a domain in the user controls there should be an option to set up a forwarder to your IP.

umm ok i have a domain http://www.nyzwerewolf.com and i have URL redirection enabled to my ip:portnumber

is that what you are talking about?

I was wondering if there is anyway to make 2 domain name servers out of my ip:portnumber

example
ns1.x.com
ns2.x.com

lol ur ip shows up. U might wanna fix it cause it seems like u are tryin to hide it

yea im aware that my ip shows up. That's what happens when I do URL Redirection in my Domain User Controls at namecheap.com. the only way that I'll be able to hide my IP is if i can make DNS name servers from my ip:portnumber

You can't hide your IP address if you do that anyway. Anyone who pings it will see it :-/

And no, I don't believe you can have 2 nameservers because you only have 1 server.

if you have enough bandwidth and 2GB per NS then you can use Virtual machines and run them as a team. the name servers as one team and your website as another...

mind you its not very efficient but does work.
