Hi,

I would like to configure IIS server at(windows server 2003) for domain name mapping.

We have purchased domain name for one of our newly created website. I would like to know how can i configure IIS so that anybody from outside world can reach wensite by typing url.

say http://xyz.com/ it should redirect at my website home page.

I have made website in using asp.net and oracle.

Please help me? If there is some tutorial/ link please forward me.

This is my first experience of hosting.

You need to register your domain on a DNS server, which is different (though could be the same physical box) as your IIS server. Long time since I've done this myself, as I use a hosting company for this kind of thing, but you will typically need at least two DNS Server IP addresses typically for a domain (primary and secondary DNS servers). There is a DNS Server for the windows server platform, but most people use hosting services to do this thing.

By the way, you might get a better response posting this kind of question on serverfault.com, as it's not really a developer question.

Agreed. This is just a question on deployment.
