Ready to launch

[Xmaily]

So at this point my server it pretty much ready to go live. But once again i'm still kind of new to this and have a few questions on how things work.

1) How can I make my wow registration page (using fusioncms) public to the world. right now it's only on my localhost or 127.0.0.1. I can purchase a domain that's not a problem

2) How can run my server off my computer (so the server stays online when i turn my comp off and shit) Will i still need to keep my ports?

You can't run the site/server off your computer and still turn the computer off. You'll need to either keep the computer on all the time or run the server off of a VPS or dedicated server.

Whats a VPS? could you possibly walk me through it

[ProbablyEngine]

A VPS is like a dedicated server just relatively less expensive. It isn't exactly a simple process.

Well if your willing to talk with me i added you on skype if not thanks for your time.

It is not so hard to google how to make my wow private server online.

Tells you how to make it public not how to add it to a VSP

Running the server should be the least of your problems. Did you really expect your server to run with your computer turned off?

The fact that you would even go live on a self-hosted server troubles me, unless you have one hell of a connection.

A Virtual Private Server(VPS) is a partition of a dedicated server (in most cases) and usually comes with worse speccs than a dedi.

The perks of hosting on a VPS / Dedi could be, but are not limted to:
Constant uptime (almost). Usually a better connection. Hopefully a larger bandwith limit.

VPS's and dedi's usually have all ports open as default.

Most ISP's do not allow the hosting of servers.
Search google for more information about VPS's in general and where to get em cheap.

As for your first question:
Get a webhost or host the webserver with (example) a program such as WAMP of your server machine. If you self host the website you should subscribe to a DNS service and have them redirect your domain to your server public IP.

If you could have read my first post i stated i wanted to get it off my computer. Currently, I have a wamp server and sub to DNS already. But wamp is only running when your computer is on. Others can see me site np but when my comp is off that's a different story i assume i have to buy a domain and xfer FTPs but i'm positive on the processes.

Sorry, misreading "off" really, yet one could argue that you didn't state it clearly enough. Run wamp on your server machine and do not turn off your server. Simple as that. I don't get what you mean by "transferring FTPs" an that you are positive on the process? Just place your current wamp www files in your servers wamp www folder. Without a server you should purchase web hosting and install fusioncms on it. Then make a subdomain on your website that redirects to your server comp(for the realmlist).

Thank you got the site working Can you recommend any good VSPs

[minupii]

It would be against policies to promote any specific VPS company(at least I think so). It's really easy to find one, search for a cheap one on google or visit *******, I know they have a host-listing section eventho they are mostly overpriced.
