Hosting with a new URL?

I am working in an institute having around 60 networked computers with a Primary Domain Controler. I have hosted a web site in the PDC. Now from anywhere we can access to the web site. Now my problem is how can I assign my own URL to the web site?

Hosting with a new URL?

I am assuming that you have configured IIS ( you said PDC)for hosting your website, and used default path c:/inetpub/wwwroot. Also assuming that your website is UP and running, If on the PDC browser %26quot;http://localhost%26quot; is working, then only thing remaining is setting UP a DNS.

Option 1.. making an entry in your local DNS %26quot;www.mytestingdomain.com%26quot; (or whatever name suites you) pointing to the IP address of the PDC, so that on LAN, others can access the website as %26quot;http://www.mytestingdomain.com%26quot;.

Option 2.. If you have access to a Live DNS server for example EasyDNS, DynDNS etc (if you have some domain name registered say %26quot;mydomain.com%26quot;), then you can add an entry in the DNS server as %26quot;test.mydomain.com%26quot; pointing to your PDC. For Live DNS you will need a LIVE IP assigned to your PDC. else you can use NATTED IP on your Firewall (Live IP NATTED to local IP in your premises). Now anyone on the internet can access your website as %26quot;http://test.mydomain.com%26quot;. Make sure you have proper Firewall rules in place to avoid breakin / hack into your network. Hope this helps.
