If you don’t have a router, you do not need port forwarding.

Hi,

Is it possible to host the web site without setting up port forwarding on the router ?
I’m using a data card for accessing the internet. It has the same IP and default gateway.
Kindly advice.

Thanks..

Yes you can purchase domain name with companies like namecheap.com, godaddy.com etc. Be careful with the goddy’s up sell and complicated interface. You don’t really have to buy the hosting. Web hosting you can do it from you machine. You can ask your ISP for static IP address. Once that is set you can forward the NDS requests to this IP address.

You don’t really have to have a domain name to start a webserver or website from your home computer. You can signg up with free Dynamic DNS services like dyndns.com and get a domain name like youname.dyndns.org. If you really want it to work with you own domain name like http://www.mydomain.com but it may not be free.

The way it works is your home router contacts the dns service like dyndns.com whenever you IP address is changed by your ISP. Dyndns forwards the request to the new IP address. For http://www.mydomain.com to work you either need a static IP address from your ISP or pay for premium cutsom DNS services.

I have been thinking about this idea for a long time. I wondered if there are any on the market for sale yet. If one has their own personal server then they would not have to pay the greedy ISP’s that are charging a fortune for the use of their equipment on line whether it is by satelite or cable. After all, all one needs is a link to the internet with certain features built in. Now if the main ISP’s and server owner have this system, what is to stop someone else scaling one down to a personal mini size for each individual? Has it been done yet? This way we could all have one and after the initial cost, access to the internet would be FREE.
