Re: Web site hosting problem with static ipaddress?
Here are some items that you have to consider.
1. What web server do you intend to use? Even at home, you have to have one to serve web pages.
2. Does your ISP allow you to run a server? Many ISP's even with static addresses have Terms of Service that prohibit active servers!
3. How much "upload" bandwidth do you have? You can run a server with a 3 meg down / 256 up line but if you have much traffic you soon run into big issues with the 256 being totally used up!
Once those have been considered and you have decided on what to use as a web server, Apache, IIS, etc.
All you do is setup your local server as a "subdomain"
home.mydomain.com
Enter that subdomain in the DNS of your main server and put pages on the local system. Then to call a "home based" page you link to the subdomain.. http: // home.mydomain.com/ particularpage.html
Thats about all it takes (other than monitoring, logging. checking the server, keeping updates, security, hackers, etc)
