its a little complicated from here. after you registered with no-ip download their tool. if your IP address doesn't change you will only need to use it once. if it does change alot keep the tool in the tray.

then download and install apache. use your IP address for the two boxes where it asks for domain name and such.

ask back if you need any help.

You have to add index.html as a default document under the site's Properties > Directory tab. The standards are default.html, default.htm and default.asp.

Did you open port 80 for web traffic to the server from your router?

usually ISPs block the port 80. you will need to open a different port in IIS (ex: 81). then put that in your router and then put it in your no-ip cpanel.
