you can contact your hosting provider and will do it for a fee or you can set a agen on your router or computer to update a DNS... look at tdyndns for exemple...

I spoke to my DSL service provider it's 15$ a month for Fixed IP address. I dont think it's worth it. can you explain little bit more about " you can set a agen on your router" you said. sorry I am really new to this.

Hello,

You are always talking about your isp and getting a fixed ip, etc...
But were you already able to access your webserver from your internal network ?

yeah I know it took me for awhile to figure it out. I am very new to this. thanks for the help you guys! yes I can see the server from my network. now I am wondering what other people do to get connected from out side other then just paying for it to get the static Ip address.

no need to pay for it

Do as Bobox suggested and use an dynamic dns service.
No-IT-people-speak => this allows you to create an url which keeps track of your changing ip and it updates the link between the url and your ip, so the ip might change but the url never changes.

a while back I posted a guide
maybe it can help understand it a little bit better.

Depending on your isp/router setup your implementation will be different but the logic is similar.

but first you need to get your local network setup in order.

it seems complicated .I thought this controller is a plug and play to begin with But I have made the progress on network setup I would to like to keep it going. I'll try tonight.

Thanks again.

Setting up DNS will never be plug-and-play - how should this work?

I think if you follow this guide you will soon have a result.
