Hi,

Here is how to do it.

1. Make sure your ISP has provided you with a static I.P.
2. register a domain with somebody like pickaweb.com should cost about $20
3. Go to

http://www.granitecanyon.com

they are a free dns server group, and tell them your i.p. address and new domain name.
3a. You will need to goto dns.djwice.com to make your record for granitecanyon.
4. Wait 2 days log onto your pickaweb account and set the DNS serevrs to ns1.granitecanyon.com and ns2.granitecanyon.com
5. Reply to the granitecanyon email to active the there DNS update of your details.
6. Make sure you set the ISM to point to the

http://wwwroot

as your default web. This help later if you run multiple websites.

Volia.

Best of Luck.
