Website on my own server (keeping domain instead of IP as URL)

[TodVader]

I setup a G4 667Mhz OS X 10.4 Web server.

I have a test domain that is antibs.net. I redirected that domain to:
"qcmat.no-ip.org"
which will redirect to whatever my dynamic IP is (with an app that informs no-ip.com of what my new IP is as soon as it changes) plus the port of the website (which is 8080 for this one).

What I want is to keep the antibs.net instead of having URLs like
"http://96.21.3.99:8080/poweredbymacosxserver.gif"

The IP can change anytime so I really need to get a static URL for the search engines.

Is there any way to do this?

If you are already using no-ip.com then you are already not using numeric IP addresses in your URL. I don't understand the question. You seem to have to right, no-ip.com will with the help of an application you run keep track of your changing dynamic IP address. I've done this myself. The only problem is that my DSL line has very slow upstream speed so people complain that my "server" is slow.

When you go to www.antibs.net , you will be redirected to qcmat.no-ip.org which redirects to http://96.21.3.99:8080/. I want to have www.antibs.net as a URL instead of http://96.21.3.99:8080/. If I want to go to contact.html , I want www.antibs.net/contact.html, not http://96.21.3.99:8080/contact.html.

I don't know if this is possible but I have no idea how to direct a domain to my server.

Speak to your hosting company, they will be able to change your dns entry.

So it currently has this:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
antibs.net. 3600 IN A 66.40.7.250

and they can change it to:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
antibs.net. 3600 IN A 96.21.3.99
