21. Purchase a domain name. 2. Create DNS records. 3. Profit! – joeqwerty Sep 24 '18 at 17:00

Look at a hosted DNS provider such as AWS Route 53 or GoDaddy.
You then can create one or more records mapping "www.yourstuff.com" to 10.0.0.1.

I would like to try use my domain controller server, which is DNS server for my internal network. – Nroot Sep 24 '18 at 17:15

1I think you are confusing two things - one is having a DNS server with the records in it. This is something you can do on your DC no problem. The other is having OTHER people be able to resolve it. That requires registration with a service provider saying "for mysite.com go to 8.8.8.8" where 8.8.8.8 is your DNS server. – TheFiddlerWins Sep 24 '18 at 17:18

Right, that is why I am asking to figure out what should I do to make it work. My service provider is Comcast, so do I have to call them and ask to associate my internal web site name with public IP? And which public IP they should associate it with? – Nroot Sep 24 '18 at 20:09

You can create appliances A records to the DNS, the IP addresses should be the public ones. Once that is ready add CNAME records and point them to the actual hosts.
