I had enough from shared web hosting(sql server on shared web hosting is just a joke ,additionally last web hosting I use, has a restriction of 3 mints for session process!! and they not support sessionstate mode as sqlserver)
so I decided to publish my local website on windows 7 .
I have static IP and port 80 open,I can browse my site from other network using IP address
like :http://46.117.24.192/.
I also have register domain (http://examplesite.com)
I want to configure the dns of the domain to my IP address
in domain management I have to put 2 Name Servers
Name Server 1 *
Name Server 2 *
What shall I put in those name servers in order to use domain name for browsing my site?
Thanks for any help

You need to add an A record to the name servers that sets your domain name to the IP Address. So you would create an A record, set the host to "*" (or www if you want to have www), and then the IP address 46.117.24.192.

I am trying to make web app accessible by http://LocalComputer/WebsiteName on IIS.
I am able to access it by http://computername:portnumber/
So what does my binding need to be and do I need a static ip?
Any help or redirection to appropriate resources will be greatly appreciated!
Is IIS setup on default port 80? If your document root is setup to website, you should be able to access it via http://computername/. If this is a local setup, and assuming your DNS is setup and working on the router, wont need a static IP although doubtful IP will ever change.
http://LocalComputer/WebsiteName this can be done locally without a static IP.
In order to make it publically over http you would need below things.
1) Registered domain name
2) Registered name servers
3) DNS zone created for the domain either with registrar or on the server
You can either host this website by renting a Windows VPS or a server and with the help of third party control panels like Plesk or Hosting controller.
OR
You can purchase a shared web hosting space from a windows hosting provider and upload your pages to make the contents accessible publically.
Another option would be to set multiple domains in your hosts file
domain1 192.168.0.10
domain2 192.168.0.10
...
Set IIS to bind and hosts multiple domain on the same IP. Then you can access each site locally by going to http://domain1 or http://domain2 etc...
I have already rent an online server.
I'm installing IIS on it, hosting a website on it.
to access the site from internet, I must type: {ipaddress}/siteAppName
My question is how to use a name instead of ip address? should I buy and register a new domain name? if that the case how could I configure this ip with a new domain name?
More Details:
I am renting a dedicated server... so I have full access to the server as I'm hosting my website on it. but I don't have a domain name. either from local machine or remotely I can successfully access the hosted website using the ip address of my server/webAppName.. but the problem is that I'm trying to get ssl certificate, but the generated CSR is rejected from all SSL suppliers because the url is not accepted, and I think that it's not accepted because of using IP instead of a domain name. I mentioned many self-conclusions here, but I'm not sure about any of them... That's why I'm asking.
It depends on your hoster but most allow you to use a registered domain name. They should have instructions on how to set this up.
I'm new to Windows Server 2008 and IIS, so please be patient.
I want to access my sites from outside my network.
I can browse my sites from the localhost, it's working.
I've added a binding to my site, Type: http, Host Name: www.dev.com, port: 80.
I have a static IP from my ISP, and my router is forwarding http requests to my server.
If I remove the Host Name and access directly using my network IP address, I get my site, but I want to provide a host name to the site because I'm going to add another web sites.
I've added www.dev.com to the DNS with my IP address.
What should I do next?
Thanks
I found the answer to what I was looking for, I should've done this:
create virtual application www.dev.com under default website on IIS,now I can access the website using STATIC_IP_ADDRESS/www.dev.com .
How can I access different websites hosted on my local IIS 7.5 (using different bindings) from my ipv4 address?
My system32\drivers\etc\host file has my binding names mapped to 127.0.0.1
In IIS, I have the normal "Default Web Site". Its binding hostname is empty, set to all unassigned ip address and port 80. On my network, I can access this site using the server ipv4 address like so : http://192.168.2.1/mySubSite/index.html where mySubSite is a child folder of the "Default Web Site". I can also access it locally using http://localhost/mySubSite/index.html
If I setup a second website in IIS using the same binding as the "Default Web Site" but using a hostname (say "site2"), I can access it locally using http://site2/mySubSite/index.html.
How can I access this second site on my network the same way I access the "Default Web Site" using the ip address? Is it possible?
the easiest way to do this is to change the port binding on each website. This takes minimal configuration and you can place a website on any port you want (I recommend ports over 1024...to a maximum of 65000)
For example, your default site will automatically be on port 80. Place site 2 on Port 2000. Then you can access your default site like you have above, and you can access site 2 with a similar url like http://192.168.2.1:2000/mySubSite/index.html. Notice the port is specified in the url using the :[port] at the end.
Yes, you can have multiple sites on the same IP address and port. It is called binding by domain name.
Open ISS and go to your first default site (one that is functional) and then go to edit bindings. You will see by default it states "http: Port 80 IP Address *"
Notice the hostname is blank? This is where you can tie a domain name to that exact port. Fill out domain name on both your site bindings. This means when someone comes in from that exact domain name, it knows where to forward traffic too. If port 80 inbound doesn't match either of those two domain names, it will default to w/e site has no bindings such as the "default site".
I am working on an asp.net intranet, that looks for a cookie from our main domain. The cookies domain value is set to "mydomain.com". Now I can easily access this cookie if I am on the same sub domain (http://test.mydomain.com). However is there a way for me to test this from http://localhost as well?
Put an entry in your host file on your local machine so that requesting your company domain gets sent to a local ip address (like 127.0.0.1). Then, make sure you have a web site setup in IIS that uses that IP and host name.
