[QUOTE="xstep, post: 939205, member: 11647"] You have opened a can of worms for your self. First, most ISPs state in their agreements that they do not allow you to run services such as web servers and mail servers. They tend to block port numbers important to such services. There may be some tricks around this, but they are hassles at best. Buying a domain is easy. Check out Godaddy, EasyDNS, or the other million registers out there. Setting up the DNS entry to find your fixed IP address is pretty easy and those sites should have instructions. Mail may have some extra issues and you have to be careful with it so that the bad guys don't use it as a forwarding service. You should probably start by reading "[URL="http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Mac_OSX_Server_v10.6_Getting_Started.pdf"]Mac OSX Server v10.6 Getting Started[/URL]". Searching Apple's site came up with several other documents of interest. [/QUOTE]
