Cant View Our Own Website!

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to think how best to explain my problem without sounding a bit thick!

 

When I'm at our office, I can't view our website!

 

We host our website on our own servers, and the issue I think is that our host server has the same URL as our website.

 

So the question is how can we resolve this?

 

Would registering a different URL pointing at the website on our servers work, or would we still not be able to view it?

 

Or would we be better moving our website from our servers?

 

Its a bit bizarre, I'm hoping someone can help, as mad as it seems it is driving me crazy not being able to view our website!!

your hosting it on a local server?

are you port forwarding port 80 to ur server?

if so you will probably find that if you ping your domain it will resolve its wan address.

you need to modify ur dns entries, or locally on each machine.

or use ur server as your dns server so it sesolves to ur local server address

Yes we are hosting it locally on a server at our office.

Unsure about the port, I can ask the question.

 

When you say modify our DNS entries? or locally on each machine?

 

Again sorry for sounding a bit dim!

James, i can try and find out them answers tomorrow as I'm unsure.

 

What I have tried in the past is viewing the URL by using a website that hides your IP address, this seems to work.

 

So I'm guessing (again I'm guessing) that the website has the same IP address as our local server and the same URL name.

 

Really the easy solution would be just to move our website off site?

Its a nice offer but I pay £13 a year and if it all goes bang I won't feel bad shouting a few fecks down the phone! (although yes, it is backed up on amazon s3)

 

My first bill with s3 was £0.01!

 

Ditto the asterisk thing, nice offer but the pi Raspbx thing is ace and was quite fun to do.

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
