Website not showing

Hello John,

If that is all you have done it is likely you have not done the necessary
steps. I have an article on this that explains what you need to do, you may
want to take a look at it and confirm you have done all the necessary steps.

Thanks. I tried browsing and it was OK. Port 80 was not blocked. What
do you mean by network bindings?

In order for your site to be accessible by people outside of your network,
then port 80 needs to be available coming into your network and not just
outbound. You also need a static IP address from your ISP or some other
dynamic IP solution such as dyndns.com or no-ip.com.

Once you have a solution to access your server externally, you can use this
simple test to see if port 80 is open. Use a computer that is outside of
your network and open up a command prompt. From the command prompt type
'telnet IP 80' without the quotes and replace the IP with your static IP
address or the url that you use from the dynamic IP solution. If it says
that it cannot connect, then port 80 is being blocked going into the
network.
