hosting website
hi all,
i have a Ready NAS Duo as previously stated in other subjects i have posted. i am currently creating my personal website, at present this is local on my laptop, the website I am creating will have the usual blog, images gallery and hopefully video (if the NAS allows??)
Also I'm learning the very basics of PHP/AJAX (my background is mechanical engineering) so I'm no computer guru but thought i should give it a go...knowledge is power after all!!
I currently have a domain being hosted at 123-reg.co.uk. this is available to view on the internet. At present, its a one page site. i want to have my newly created website (currently on my laptop) on my NAS using the domain name at 123-reg.co.uk.
i am also using dyndns.org to connect to my NAS.
so http://myipdyndns.org allows me to connect to shares/musicbrowser/admin etc....now i want to use my purchased domain to do the same. So, www.mysite.co.uk to connect to:
website
musicbrowser
shares
admin
how do i go about this?
any help much appreciated.

Re: hosting website
123-reg doesn't support dynamic IP addresses directly - they expect you to have a static IP address.
So your choices appear to be:
1. Get a static IP address and setup the domain in the 123-reg control panel to point to that
2. Find a Dynamic DNS provider that will allow you to use your purchased domain with their service (eg I think dyndns.org offers this, but as a paid-for service)
3. Setup a CNAME DNS record that points your domain name to the dynamic DNS name, also via the 123-reg control panel

Re: hosting website
Did you sort your problem out?
From reading your thread am I correct that you have
1. created a share [say its called sites] on your Duo
2. you have re-directed web access on your Duo to this share.
3. within the 123-reg control panel you have re-directed your domain name to point to the share on your Duo
This might be http://xx.xx.xxx.xxx/sites
Is this the method you used?
I use this method and it works for me.
The xx.xx.xxx.xxx is of course your external ip address.
Regards
