This is the second installment (read: question) in my journey to complete a fairly unfamiliar project. As mentioned in another post of mine, I am attempting to turn my second box into a web server for my website.
Thanks to the help of members, I have successfully installed RedHat 8.0 on the box, and I made sure to install all of the server packages during the install. My next step or two involves things I am unfamiliar with and require me to ask you folks:
1) I want to hook up this 2nd box through an open port on my DSL router. I assume I will have to make a change in the router's configuration, or somewhere in RedHat to allow anonymous access to that box (and only that box I hope) from anyone surfing the web trying to access my website. Am I correct in thinking that if I change nothing, the ip address will be masked from people surfing the web by my DSL router?
2) As it stands right now, I own www.endlessss.com, but it is hosted by a company called www.doteasy.com. How do I maintain my domain name, but host it on my box? I assume I'll have to cancel my account with DotEasy, but who exactly do I inform that I will be serving the site off of my own box/ip address?
Sorry if this sounds amatuer, but I have got to learn somehow.
Thanks!
