I have created a free domain in freedns.afraid.org as "xxx.com"
I also have a web application built on JSF2 and deployed on my local glass fish server.
The application is accessible on localhost:4848/MyWebApp/home.jsf.
When I replace the "localhost" with my public ip, as expected,I am able to access the application
on the internet as well.
Now, I want to use this www.xxx.com and make sure when someone hits url www.xxx.com, my web-application should be accessible over the internet.
Please let me know how to do it?What I am missing here?
You can't point domain name to ip adress with port. Point domain to ip without port, and it will work like this:
your-domain.com:4848/MyWebApp/home.jsf
If you don't like port shown in adress bar, you can use iframe to hide it.

I'm trying to figure out whether a website I use was hacked.
When I access the site via www.site-name.com, I'm taken to the website.
However, when I access the site without the "www," i.e. site-name.com, I'm taken to a different website.
Why is this happening? I did a little research and my only guess is that someone changed the site's .htaccess file, but that seems unlikely, as the different website has no relation to the official site.
Can someone help me understand what's going on here?
One IP address can host multiple websites with different hostnames using Virtual Name Hosting.
The HTTP server will look at the Host header in the request to determine what site to use for a given request.
This lets you have one IP address serving example.com and example.net.
Typically, the first Virtual Name Host will be the default, so if you were to ask for example.org the server would not recognise it and give you example.com instead.
In this case, it appears that the server has a Virtual Name Host configured for www.site-name.com but not for site-name.com so requests for site-name.com get the default site for the server.
Currently, my .NET MVC application hosted on IIS 7 can be accessed remotely with the following url:
http://172.21.1.83:8080/Mysite/Index
I want to be able to use the url
http://example.com/Mysite/Index instead.
How do I achieve this? Basically I just want to get rid of the ip address and port number in the url, and replace it with a custom domain name (like example.com).
Sounds like you need a reverse proxy. That way the user doesn't have to see or use the port. Check out this article.
http://www.myconnectionserver.com/support/tutorials/v90/iisProxy/index.html
In your IIS web application click on Bidings from the right side menu bar, and add a new biding by entering your IP address and Port number, and your Host Name as the domain name which in your example is http://example.com/Mysite/Index.
I have set up SAB, Sickbeard, CouchPotato & Plex on my home media server. All mapped to respective ports.
The ports have been forwarded correctly and I have DDNS enabled, if I browse to my DDNS address proceeded by the port number - I can access my services absolutely fine.
What I am wanting to do is use sub-domains on a domain that I already own to make the URLs a bit more friendly. However I have tried setting up simple web redirects & these don't work for some reason.
For example;
sab.domain.com = DDNS_address:9090
plex.domain.com = DDNS_address:32400/web/index.html
When trying to access I get 404 Not Found errors.
I don't host my own IIS or Apache server, the domain is hosted by an online provider.
Is this possible or worth too much hassle?
Thanks.
my website is www.somedomain.me, rented server from DigitalOcean, domian name is from Namecheap，
I redirected www.somedomain.me to http://104.236.xx.xx:6060/main/ ，
but when I open up www.somedomain.me it display the url as :
**http://104.236.114.32:6060/main/** or
**http://104.236.114.32:6060/main/resume.html** or
**http://104.236.114.32:6060/main/contact.html**，
how can i let it display as
**http://www.somedomain.me** or
**http://www.somedomain.me/resume.html** or
**http://www.somedomain.me/contact.html**
Thanks!
Lazy way?
Set up a URL Frame
Good way? The way the DNS gods intended?
If you have a dedicated IP, point it with an A record.
It's key to note A records can't specify a port. If at all possible, considering migrating your service to port 80? I understand sometimes this isn't possible but it'll make life a hell of a lot easier.
Edit: as for a redirect method, you could run a website on port 80 with like a line or two of HTML in an index.html to redirect to the proper port. Again assumes port 80 is unoccupied.
Previous post to clarify rewrite vs redirect
Michael makes a good point, however, in that if you want your customer to not have to include the port, you either have to do it for them via the redirect method you're using, or move your service to the default HTTP port 80. If you redirect the customer's browser to an IP address, that is what will be populated in the address bar and the Host header.
You might be able to do this thru Http Reverse Proxy. This wiki might guide you in the right track. You can use Heroku, Nginx, apache, etc. Though, apache might be overkill for the purpose.
What i want to do is to set xampp so that when i give my ip to someone they can access my site. The reason for me to find something like this is cause i want to embed paypal testing to my site and it is needed to set a URL for the customers to return to my site when they complete their transactions... I run XAMPP 1.7.7 and my modem is a siemens. Also is there any free way to get a url ie blahblahblah.net or something like this?
In order to do this you will need to set up port forwarding on your router to your web server on your machine (you will have to look at your Siemens router documentation on how to do this). You will only be able to do use a custom URL if your router suports dynamic DNS, which most modern routers do. This required because probably the way you access the Internet your IP address can change each time you log in. If this is the case, you can get one free domain for this purpose at DynDNS.
