I have a spare computer that I want to host my website. It's just one website that won't take much bandwidth to run.
I have At&t DSL and the computer is connected via a router that is a 2WIRE 2701HG-B.
I have Windows XP Professional SP3 installed on it.
My domain name is registered on Godaddy.
I have tried to do this already and with no luck. I installed IIS and when I type "http://localhost/" into my browser, I can view my test page that I set up. I also have a static IP set up for the computer.
I'm willing to reformat and install linux if somebody is willing to give me a complete guide on how to set it up to host my domain that I bought on godaddy.
I would prefer to figure out this IIS situation though because I want to be able to access the computer remotely.
Any help would be appreciated.
I also posted this in the Internet section because I wasn't sure where to post it.
