General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

hello,

i have my webiste (http://www.mysite.com---(port80)) here at dyndns that files are hosted thru iis5.1 on myxpsp3 machine.

recently i have downloaded wamp on same machine and i host files there but just locally (http://localhost:8080).

my question : Can I sign up to host a site at dyndns so that those files can be a public address (http://www.mysecondsite.com ) even though this is from port 8080.

of course i would port forward 8800.

thanks, craig

Yes, you can do this. Call your host then by http://yourname.dyndns.org:8080 or set up a WebHop redirection.
If you are not happy with a DynDNS hostname, or a redirection from one of your subdomains, but want to use a subdomain directly, you would need to purchase Custom DNS.

Another alternative is to utilize Virtual Hosting on Apache.

Edit: Ah, just reading "Can I sign up to host a site at dyndns"
The solution for hosting content at DynDNS would be Spring Server VPS.

Actually, I don't think your edit is relevant - the question implies that he's still wanting to host it on his home computer.

Apache (the A in WAMP) supports Virtual Hosts (vhosts) so you don't need a second port, just to configure WAMP to serve up different sites depending on the name people use to connect to it. Then when they connect to mysite.com they'll get the first site, when they connect to mysecondsite.com they'll get the other.

Just google something like "multiple sites in apache" and you'll get the results you are looking for. :)
