I need help badly with hosting my own site on my own home server. I am new to this and if anyone can guide me. I have my domanin register with Godaddy. I just now need steps on getting my site to be connected to that domain so people can view. Help!

Some more information would be great. Your own server, is this a computer running at your house, or is this a professional server you're paying for? I assume you're talking about what, Apache? Is this being hosted for you, or are you configuring Apache by yourself? Windows or Linux?

He need to set up his domain's DNS to point to his server.

If you're running it from your house, you're going to have to have a nameserver.

Why? I have a server running off my internet connection and I let netsol manage my DNS. I can't imagine godaddy not having something similar.

If they don't, www.zoneedit.com has free DNS services, and I'm sure a google search will show a bunch more.

Don't use IIS. It's full of security holes and bugs.

Apache

ok so you're running microsoft server enterprise edition at home...legit copy?

Maybe you should stick to using something simpler if you dont know how to set this up....whats wrong with windows XP?

its prob even easier if you pay godaddy the $2.99 a month or however much it is to host your site for you.

I suggest you do that.
