i have made a home webserver

while i m connected to internet (dsl), using local area network(LAN),

,by using apache and php, but there is problem that whenever i use to open my home page , given by any DNS company like , then DSL conf, page opens itself,

so my question is,

is it possible to make my own website, host it from my own home, while i m connected to internet through LAN(acctually i m using internet cable),

if its possible thn tell me how??

sorry, to Waren H, that i forget to tell him , that i m using LAN...really sorry....

sure you can host your own as long as your ISP and your hardware can handle the traffic it will generate. but you need to register its name, so that when someone types in "abc123webpage.com" their ISP can look it up in the registry and know where to send them. domain registry can be as cheap as $5 US / year.

yes you can by puttin it on the web on yahoo and also try other pages

one other tidbit to kbug answer (great one btw) is that you may need to open up the port 80 on the dsl device. Most DSL devices have an integrated firewall that typically only lets outbound traffic go through. You may need to adjust this and let inbound port 80 (www traffic) through as well. TX
