public static ip address

[ebgames56]

I contacted my ISP and they dont provide public static ip address. Where can i get one?

The only way to get a static IP address is from your ISP. If you really need a static IP and your ISP cannot provide one then you need a different ISP.

Why do you need a static IP address? Depending on the answer there may be other alternatives that solve your problem.

For dynamic IPs you can set up a dynamic DNS in your router to get a static name:

My ISP says that usually a static IP is needed for setting up an Internet/Domain Server. Some Web sites even publish that IP number on one of their pages.

im just trying to setup an website through IIS in windows server 2012. I bought a domain from godaddy for a website.

Maybe this can help: dns - Using dynamic IP with Go Daddy domain for web site - Stack Overflow

tahts for a subdomain i dont want that. I just want to get the site up

Next advice was:

Go to your domain in godaddy control center. Look for "Forwarding" section and just enter your no-ip address in forwarding section

Set yourself up with a dynamic DNS provider like Free Dynamic DNS - No-IP.com - Managed DNS Services then from your godaddy dns panel setup a cname that points to your noip address.

I highly doubt any member of this forum would be willing to do that. You should never allow remote control of your computer to anyone you do not know and trust. That goes double for a server.

Safely setting up a web server for public access is not a simple thing. There are many ways for the unwary to go wrong. Even experts sometimes run into trouble. If you lack such knowledge and experience you have 3 options:

1. Use a commercial hosting service.
2. Do some serious research. This is going to take time, probably a lot. You need a depth of knowledge that cannot be obtained by asking questions on a forum.
2. Engage the services of a professional who has the required knowledge and experience. It is true this can be expensive. But in the long term doing this yourself, even with the best of advice, may end up costing you a great deal more.

I know this isn't the answer you want but it is the best advice I have.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I hope it helps.
In the router:

• Set up a static local/internal IP for the server, for example 192.168.1.100
• If that should not work(depending on the router): change the DHCP interval to stop before that static IP. Example range: 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.99
• Set up a Port Forward for TCP traffic on port 80(default HTTP traffic) to the static IP of the server

On the server:

• Open the firewall for incoming TCP traffic on port 80

If you need to you can configure the IIS for additional filtering of traffic, for example with the feature "IP address and domain restrictions".
