This question actually was to go on the page about IPs, bu I couldnt find it. My query is but a simple one:
A few days back, I had a dynamic IP, so (using IIS, with Win XP), I was able to view my site as http://localhost/, and consequently as http://[IP] wheneever I was online...
Now I have switched to a static IP. My site still finds itself at localhost, but with the IP, a window opens up asking for a username and password. In a word, I'm lost with the IP.
Do I need to download some special software to access my own server? I dont need to host a permanent website, I just need a server with IP access for a few stuff.
Oh, yeah, and the FTP dont work either.
Help Me,
Ayush

After much searching on google, I went to FindMyHosting.com and signed up with 3Essentials hosting (www.3essentials.com). They had excellent ratings, which was primarily why I chose them. Since I was a little hesitant, I called them to get some questions answered. They're really responsive, I got someone of the first two rings.
Happy Host Hunting...

Dear Leo,
Thanks for all the help and the answers that you have posted. I'm an editor and i like to post a website for me including all my videos editing etc..like a demo reel.
I was wondering how much it cost by month or year? for a webserver to host my files. say for exemple i have 100mb or 200mb of data. is it very expensive and it's better to do it from home if i have broadband cable 786kbs?
thanks

There's no single answer ... it depends on your needs. It can be free,
inexpensive ($10/mo) expensive ($100's per month) or more. My guess is for
someone starting out free or inexpensive will do just fine until you discover
you need more, at which point you upgrade. (It's the path I took).
I do NOT recommend hosting it yourself on your DSL. Outside access will quickly
saturate your connection and make it slow for you to use.
