Re: Domain Name with Dynamic IP + Port Redirect

if you really want to learn, get a ISP that allows port 80 access. I'd check with your hosting provider and see if they offer static ip's. This way, you'll not have to monkey with the auto redirect, it might cost a few more bucks, but if the hsting provider does not have contracts, you could do this for a few months and switch back once you've learned it. Or get another hosting provider.

For redirects, I'd inquire with no-ip.com or I quickly hit google.

PS - I had a static ip for several years and it was "nice". I have DHCP now and I miss the static IP.

Domain Name with Dynamic IP + Port Redirect

I am new to IIS7 and creating anything in the web. I've been searching for hours trying to understand how I go about getting a domain name setup for my personal website on IIS.

I have a server running IIS7 on Windows Server 2008. My ISP blocks port 80, so I am currently using www.no-ip.com to do a free and simple redirect to my website.

When I visit (http://mysubdomain.no-ip.org) , it changes the web address in the address bar to my actual WAN IP (http://123.456.1.2:8000/index.php). So say if I have a page that is (http://123.456.1.2:8000/photos/vacation.htm) I can't send someone a link going (http://mysubdomain.no-ip.org/photos/vaction.htm), it just throws the browers to my default (http://123.456.1.2:8000/index.php) page.

What I want to do is purchase a domain name, and have it actually linked to my webserver, so the domain stays in the address bar for links and etc. For example, I would want to be able to do (www.mydomain.com/photos/vacation.htm) and it actually take me there and stay there instead of just redirecting to my main index.htm file. This will also making is so much easier to install PHP applications I use, where it specifically asks for URL for links for files it needs, such as vBulletin and etc.

I am not sure how I would go about doing this since my IP is dynamic, and my ISP also blocks 80 and my webserver uses port 8000. I am willing to pay for any kind of DNS service that does what I need it to do. I hope I explained myself clearly.

Thanks in advanced.
