Hi,

I have an ASP.NET website with SQL Server DB.
I want to host that on one machine(windows XP SP 2) so it can be accessed publicly over internet.

I purchased one domain name also, so where are all places I need to make entries of that domain while setting up web site like IIS, DNS or host file.

Could you please tell me how to do that on windows XP service pack 2 or it will require only server edition like windows 2003, windows 2007, windows7 or 8.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need to install IIS on your server. Please refer to http://www.iis.net/learn/get-started/whats-new-in-iis-8/iis-80-using-aspnet-35-and-aspnet-45[^]

If you're not familiar to how to setup IIS, then you can purchase shared hosting. On shared hosting, you just need to upload all your files to your root folder. Then, your site will live. It's simple as that.
