can you host a domain name without a web host? e.g. on front page click
publish web and publish it to your domain name.
thanx

A domain name is merely a "link" to your website files. You need somewhere
to store your website files. So, no, you can't have a domain name without
someplace to point it to.

and "publishing" with MS FrontPage implies "uploading" but if the person has
a cable/DSL connection, then it would be possible not to rent hosting, but
to use the IP address for the internet connection (and web server s/w on
that PC to display pages when someone goes to browse - not recommended
as it requires machines to be left online and perhaps vulnerable to any
nasty hackers, but nonetheless possible, surely). Peter M. UK.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

No you cant....

Do remember this though - you will need a good quality webhost and domain
name if you are to run a successful website. There is nothing worse thamn a
host whose servers are continually going down. Domain names are so cheap
these days that it shouldn't make a difference to you - you can get a .com
domain name now for less than $10....

HTH,

Mike

You cannot do what ? Top posting leaves it pretty unclear as to what you
are writing about, IMHO. If you were meaning "host on the end of an ISP
connection" then yes you can, but it would be daft to do so (IMO). Peter<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
