i have an application hosted on iis in one of the local system and it is mapped with public ip. Up to now we are using this by http://public-ip/application/login.aspx it is working perfectly, now we want to assign a domain name for the above url and have to access with that domain name from the outside also. can some one suggest what i have to do further.

Thanks

A few steps:

  1. Buy the domain from any domain registrar. I personally use namcheap.com but you can use anyone you like.

  2. Make sure you also purchase (if not included) the DNS management service (also called nameservers).

  3. Once domain is purchased, login to your control panel and modify the DNS record.

  4. Add an A Record for your domain, like this, where your IP is 111.111.111.111:

    yourdomain.com.   IN A 111.111.111.111

  5. (Optional) you may want to add a CNAME record (an alias) so that www.yourdomain.com also works; that record would look like this:

    www             CNAME   yourdomain.com.

  6. Go to IIS, and change the name of the site to the domain name.

  7. Wait for 30 - 40 minutes for the global DNS servers to propagate the changes.

  8. Enjoy your new site.
