How to host a domain name on windows.

ive been puzzled on how to host my own domain name. i have an account at www.zoneedit.com, and i updated the nameservers to the ones they assigned plus added my ip for the domain but for some reason it doesnt take ;/ any help on how to host a domain name for the internet would be much appreiciated.

also my system specs are

2.8ghz
dsl (static)
512k ram
server utility = apache 1.3.23

[Uranium-235]

it can take up to 72 hours for the IP go traverse the domain name system.

and for future reference, it's 512MB, sure hope it's not 512k

make sure, if you are behind a router, to forward external traffic to your internal ip address of your http serving machine.

and the problem uranium points out is a common deception. meaning a lot of people think its not working cuz of the delay, not that his point was a deception.

thanks guys for the help as for jason everyone makes a grammatical error sometimes. As for future refrence please post a reply that is helpful, and not to mention related to the topic stated above.



Thanks and have a wonderful day
