This is my first guide so don’t be harsh 
As the title says i am going to tell you how you can get a domain of your choice and name your PC’s IP. This means that whenever a user puts your domain name into their browser’s address they will be forwarded to your IP, thus your own web server OR FTP server which you can find for free in the portable applications category or at the end of this post.
Ok let’s start, read it carefully and if you have trouble just post a comment so you can get help.
1. First go here DynDns and register for free and then login.
2. At “My services” go to “My hosts” and click on “Add host services”.
3. Then fill in the form and click create host.
- HOSTNAME: type in your desired domain name and then choose from the list your suffix.
- WILDCARD: Yes, tick the box so you can use it later if you want, for example photos.lambrospower.homeip.net (something.yourname.suffix)
- SERVICE TYPE: choose the host IP since this is our purpose here, to forward the domain to our IP.
- IP ADRRESS: Here you type your IP, i recommend typing the one that is detected below the box.
- MAIL ROUTING: if you want it tick the box.
4. Press “Create Host” and that’s it you are finished with your domain name.
Now you have your own, personal domain that you can share with anyone and let them download things from your PC. 
—————– EXTRAS ——————
Our extra for this guide is the DynDns Updater. With this portable tool you can directly update your IP registered with the domain without visiting the site itself. It’s very useful when you have your server on a USB and you move along many PC but you want your visitors to be able to access your files independently your current location. It can also be very very useful for anyone who has dynamic IP, that is an IP that changes with every login to your ISP. Enough talking, read it below and i suggest you to try it, you have nothing to install nothing to lose:P
- First of all download the updater from here:
- Extract the zip anywhere you want your updater to be and start it.
- Open the folder and start “DynDNS.exe”
- A wizard will start since you have no accounts configured, click NEXT
- Then choose your Internet connection and then NEXT
- Now click “detect my IP” button and NEXT
- Here just type a name you want your group of domains to have in this program, it doesn’t count at all
- Now type in your username and password you created earlier while registering and click NEXT
- Let the updater to download automatic domain information, tick the first option
- Now you are given the domains you have registered at DynDNS, choose the ones you want to update their IP and click NEXT
- Leave the box ticked here and click NEXT
- Now here it’s important, if you want to have the updater portable so you can have it on a USB and run from there then you should leave the two options unchecked .
BUT IF you want it just for your current PC you can choose the one you want without problems at all.
- Click finish and you are done!!!!
You can change any information you want within the program too, click its tray icon and explore the settings there if you want.

Today i will tell you how to create a home FTP server where you can share files on your pc with anyone who has access to the Internet. I guess everyone wants to do this, it’s just great be able to put anything you want online for anyone to see or download, well let’s get started!
First of all i assume that you followed my guide for naming your ip with your customized domain, just for the examples to be more understanding. let’s say my domain registered is “lambrospower.homeip.net” (which is indeed mine but not online all the time).
My Guide for getting your own customized domain name forwarded to your IP
Firstly i will use the BabyFTPServer since it’s easier and lighter to use.
- Download the BabyFTPServer
- Extract the zip anywhere you want the server to be, that would be anything even your USB or IPOD.
- Start the “babyftp.exe”
- You should get the message (down-left corner of window) “FTP server is online”
- Now go to the “settings”
- Leave the first box enabled so the ftp server goes online with the execution of step 3
- At home directory press the button with the “two dots” and browse to the directory where the files you want to share are
- Now for the permissions:
ALLOW CREATE DIRECTORY: tick if you want your visitors to be able to create directories inside your HOME directory from their clients
ALLOW DELETE: tick if you want the visitors to be able to delete files from your directories
ALLOW RENAME: tick if you want the visitors to be able to rename files in your directories
ALLOW DOWNLOAD: tick if you want the visitors to be able to download files from your directories
ALLOW UPLOAD: tick if you want the visitors to be able to upload files into your directories
- Clicking ok you have set up your server and it’s ready for use. Give your domain to anyone and let them try it.
CAUTION : They must put the prefix “ftp.” before your domain if they want to be redirected to your FTPServer else they will go into your WebServer (if configured and running) else they will end up to an error page.
For example with my domain you must use this: ftp.lambrospower.homeip.net (this will not lead anywhere cause my server is probably offline now)
Now we will use the Quick’ n easy FTPServer lite which has more functions than the baby.
- Download the Quick’ n easy FTPServer lite
- Extract the files to any location you want (the DynDNS updater is included into this zip so it isn’t necessary to download it again from the domain name guide.
- Start the “ftpserver.exe”
- Agree to the license “I agree”
- Now you see the message “FTP server is offline” (down-left corner of window)
- Click on the “Launch FTP Setup Wizard” (since this is your first time)
- NEXT
- Here you define the port that the ftp server will listen to. Leaving it 21 you must use the “FTP.” prefix (as explained above in caution) else you can change it to 80 and just use the domain without the prefix.
Be careful though, using the 80 port you cannot use any webserver for your pc because the browsers by default access port 80, so i recommend you to use the port 21 with the prefix. NEXT
- Now choose the first if you are fully online and not behind a router that is blocking your ports and then NEXT
- Leave the tick into the box and click FINISH
- Now the user account is started.
Here you must type the username your visitors must enter, but if you are sharing files with anyone online the i suggest you ticking the box “Create anonymous account”, this will make your server public to anyone just by typing “ftp.lambrospower.homeip.net” in my case and not “username:lambrospower.homeip.net” . NEXT
- Now you choose your HOME directory, which contains the files or folders you want to share. NEXT
- Here are the permissions again, they are explained above (babyserver) at step 5 so choose the most suitable for you. NEXT
- FINISH
- Now you have set up your FTPServer correctly. Press the “START” button (up-left) and your server is activated and online for anyone to visit.
You can change all the settings of the server, add new users with passwords and more permissions, change directories or connections and much more by going to “CONFIGURE SETTINGS” option or by clicking the left navigational links.
That’s it . . . You have successfully created your own FTPServer. Start sharing your files online with anyone you want, no site logins, no time consuming uploads to servers and NO MONEY paid:P
I hope you liked it, for any comments or suggestions please post them.

Hello 
have you ever wanted to make your personal site but didn’t want to spend time and money learning how to upload files to servers or use the hosting panel or anything? Here you will learn how to set up a simple web server and run it from your PC. The best part is that you can put all the files on your USB or even IPOD and move it between PCs without problems and errors.
First of all i recommend you to read my guide for getting a home customized domain name since it will be easier for the world to access your newly created in a moment site.
Guide for getting a customized domain name for your IP
Now let’s move on with the WEBServer. Like my other guides i am using my domain for example “lambrospower.homeip.net” which i got using the guide above too.
- Download the BabyWebServer clicking below
- Extract the zip anywhere you want.
- Start “babyweb.exe” inside the folder
- Now you should get the message (down-left corner of window) “Web Server is Online”
- Click on “settings” button in order to configure it according to your needs.
- I suggest you leaving the port to 80 since this is th port the browsers try to access when a user type your domain name into his browser
- In “Webpages” you must type the home directory of your server, your site files where your firt page is
- At the default page you must enter your homepage link, usually it’s index.html
- The ASP settings can be left default
- Click ok and you are done
- Give your domain name to someone and let them access your site, if they reach your homepage you are a Genius
This is a very simple way to get your page online but if you want nothing than just a simple site then you have found the right way to do it.
HTML Tutorials can be found all over the net, mentioning the best below for helping you out with your page:

Quick ‘n Easy FTP Server Lite Version 3.1
This is a more advanced ftp server than BabyFtpServer posted earlier which is portable too. I use both of them cause they are just too easy to set them. Choose the one you want, test them both in my opinion and share your files online without trouble!
Key features:
- Simple, intuitive and cool looking user interface, with several pages for managing the users, configuration and security.
- Easy to setup using the build-in FTP Server Setup Wizard.
- Add new user accounts with the User Account Wizard.
- Support for systems that are a part of a network with a router and/or firewall.
- Configuration is saved in XML format.
- Realtime server trace, which displays every command and it’s reply on the screen.
- Everything can also be logged to a file.
