Web Server

By akufayerem.i.nwede ·
I have a web server (Windows Server 2003 Web Edition w/ IIS) that I would like to be a dedicated web host. I also have the domain name and its ip address. However, when I try to set access the site, it comes up with the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" page. The domain name used to be hosted on a commercial web host. However, I ended all web hosting services except for e-mail. I think that the e-mail services may be conflicting with my ability to host the web site from my personal web server. Can someone please confirm or refute my claim?

Go to dnsstuff.com and check your domain A records and make sure they point to the right external IP address, i.e. the firewall/router of your LAN.

Check if you can access http://{my external ip address} from outside your LAN. If not, you most likely have a port forwarding problem.

Check the port forwarding in your firewall router. You need to forward port 80 to the internal IP address of your web server. You do have a firewall, don't you?

Your web server may need to have the domain name set up and linked to the virtual server and document root directory from where the pages will be served as a response to requests to a particular domain or IP address.
