Alright, I'm working on some web design projects and I've been dissatisfied many of the free servers I have tried. I don't want to pay for a server service because most of the projects I'm working on are really just for learning purposes, as a result I decided to try and set up my own server with an old Macbook Air.
1.I went into my Sharing settings and turn on web sharing, then proceeded to turn on the firewall for extra security.
2.After this I went into my router(Arris) settings and enabled DMZ for that computer, which opened up port 80. I then set up port forwarding and port triggering
3.From here I went to No-IP.com and set up an account, where I signed up for a subdomain name and then added a host where I selected the DNS Host(A) option.
4. Lastly, I downloaded their client update manager and set it up to where it "should" work.
The issue though, is that when I type in the subdomain that I setup, it just says page cant be found. What am I missing, clearly there is a step i have overlooked. Is there anyone here who has dealt with no-ip.com, or at least know what I need to do to get this going?
