You can use a service like Dynamic DNS. You would install the credentials (host name, user name, and password) in your router. This way you do not have to have a fixed IP address on your Internet line.
if you want to create a personal website with a custom domain name, I like to use:
www.weebly.com . It is turnkey and cheap.

Subject: [App_rpt-users] Domain name help (slightly OT)
Is there anyone in here that knows anything about domain names and dns services?
I want to purchase a domain. I already run lsnodes and allmon2 on my home node. I want to be able to use that domain to be able to access those nodes. I would also like a simple webpage like word press to document my allstar activities.
I notice a lot of list members have custom domains, I just want to make sure I purchase what I need.
If you can help please contact me off list.
