Changing the Host address???I am sorry if I am posting this on a wrong forum. Here is the question I have. I bought a domain name(say xyz.com) from godaddy com and by default they will let us park the domain meaning the host address points to their server(I mean godaddy). Now when I do a "whois", it specifies the following information. Domain servers in listed order: NS53.DOMAINCONTROL.COM NS54.DOMAINCONTROL.COM Currently what I am doing is I create some test files and upload those on the godaddy hosting control center(I dont know what is the server name). so that when I say, www.xyz.com/test.html, the test.html is sourced from that hosting server. Now can I use my own home PC and make sure that I dont use the godaddy.com at all? Is that possible.?? What I mean is that I want to run the web server and make my home PC as the host so that all the pages I can upload onto my pc rather than godaddy hosting control server,so that I can say www.xyz.com/test.html, where test.html is a file lying on my PC. Now to do the above, what are the sequence of things that I need to do. Can someone please explain me. Where and how can I change that setting. Thanks. test wrote:

You simply don't know enough to keep it safe. Unless you are very skilled in running web servers (and you aren't), it is far better to let a hosting company do it for you. Also, running a web server on a home connection is against most ISPs' terms of use so you would need to check with yours. Malke Malke wrote:

Some of the things, we learn from the basics, by sharing from others. Not everyone knowseverythings right away. Its just foolish on your part that you dont know such a small thing not me. If you cant send a congenial message(if you can share something ,share it properly ,otherwise not),then the world would be better if you can keep your #$% off these news groups. Thanks.

It doesn't change my advice to you - if you set up a web server without knowing how to properly secure it, it will be hacked in minutes. Yes, we all do learn from the basics but setting up a web server is not basic. Once again, I did not mean to hurt your feelings. There was no call for you to then turn around and be nasty yourself. Go to a local bookstore and take a look at one of the books about setting up and managing a web server and you will see that none of them are aimed at novices. There is a reason for this. Good luck in your endeavors. Malke

Some won't. Next, keep in mind that one or the reasons people use web hosting services is that performance is usually dramatically better, because residential internet services are heavily biased towards downloads. This means that your web server will respond slowly to requests, and transfers from it will be much slower than from your hosting service. Check the upload vs. download speed for your connection and you'll see what I mean - they are usually very different. Finally, if you haven't purchased a fixed IP address from your ISP, you can't really register your PC's current IP address with a DNS server. You would have to use something like a dynamic DNS service and client, which will take into account that your PC's address will change. As to the process, have you considered asking godaddy's support or FAQs? HTH -pk No one can prevent you from cross-posting to newsgroups for which your
question is off-topic but people that might help you can choose to not help. You might get more help if you post your questions to just one newsgroup or at least limit the newsgroups to those that your question is reasonably on-topic for.
