- <h1 class="title">VIEWING YOUR WEB SITE</h1>
- <br />
- Once you have your web pages saved in the correct directory you will want to view
- them both on the machine they are saved on and over the Internet. <br />
- <br />
- To view your files on the local machine type:<br />
- <br />
- <span class="code">http://localhost</span><br />
- <br />
- in your web browser's address window.<br />
- <br />
- To view your files over the internet, you can type your computer's IP
- address in any web browser. For example if your IP address is 36.65.34.32 your
- files can be found at:<br />
- <br />
- <a href="http://36.65.34.32/"><span class="code">http://36.65.34.32</span></a><span
- style="font-family: courier new,courier,monospace;">.</span>

- <h2 class="title">Using a DNS name</h2>
-
- If you would prefer<span class="code">
- http://william.homeip.net</span> instead of your IP address you must get a
- DNS name.<br />
-
- <br />
- A DNS name is a network mechanism to assign an IP address a mnemonic name
- such as <a href="http://www.google.com/"
- target="_blank">www.google.com</a>. You can get a DNS name using a free system
- like <a href="http://www.DynDNS.org" target="_blank">DynDNS.org</a>. This
- service is for PC s with always-on (ADSL, cable,...) connections that can
- be accessed for the better portion of the day.<br />
- <br>
- If you do not have a static IP address, your address changes every time
- you connect to internet. But, with a DNS name from DynDNS.org you are accessible
- whether your IP address is dynamic or static.<br />
- <br />
- To be sure that your new DNS name refers to your machine every time you
- connect to the Internet, you must also install a dynamic DNS client. You
- can get a free DNS client at: <a
- href="http://www.directupdate.net/" target="_blank">http://www.directupdate.net</a>.<br />
- <br />
- If you don’t like the name <a href="http://myname.homeip.net/"target="_blank">http://myName.homeip.net</a>
- but would rather have a name such as <a href="http://www.myname.net/"target="_blank">http://www.myName.net</a>
- you need to register a domain through a registrar.
