There is a solution but my lack of knowledge has been confusing quite a few people, sorry. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [URL NameServer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/) * Thread Starter [JohnBuchanan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnbuchanan/) * (@johnbuchanan) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/#post-4927318) * Basically I have used Adobe Business Catalyst in the past. I received a PowerEdge 840 Server for a computer repair job. I am no longer interested in paying adobe or any host monthly when I own a server that should be capable of serving a small services website. * My question is how do I host with my own server and apply a domain purchased through Godaddy? I am using a WAMP server currently but I do own IIS 7 or 7.5 not sure which and I could even switch to Linux. I know it is possible to use a third party server because I spent an hour on the phone with Godaddy yesterday. They explained to me that my WAMP configuration was incorrect to accept their my IPV6 & Hostname. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [URL NameServer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/) * Thread Starter [JohnBuchanan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnbuchanan/) * (@johnbuchanan) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/#post-4927222) * This is the best description of what I am looking for but for some reason is not working either * [http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/664/setting-nameservers-for-your-domain-names?locale=en](http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/664/setting-nameservers-for-your-domain-names?locale=en) * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [URL NameServer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/) * Thread Starter [JohnBuchanan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnbuchanan/) * (@johnbuchanan) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-nameserver/#post-4927220) * Yes I could access my account through local host. [http://Localhost/absolutelybolics](http://Localhost/absolutelybolics) it worked fine. I tried several ways to change my url to [http://Absolutelybolics.com](http://Absolutelybolics.com), my issue is not hosting the website or installing it. I have downloaded and completed every config aspect including MySQL & phpmyadmin prior manual downloads. * My question is how to get a WAMP server accessible through ie, localhost/absolutelybolics to [http://absolutelybolics.com/](http://absolutelybolics.com/) * Keyalea I appreciate the response but please read the question. This is not an issue of Installation. This is redirecting to a GoDaddy URL Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
