How to change domain on local server?

Question

Domain Name System

Hello, I know that it is possible to open access "outside" for the site's localhost. I want to use a home PC instead of a purchased hosting. Tell me how you can install a purchased domain for him or better even a free one? By free, I mean just take a free one and not register it in any services.

Answer 1

Tell me how you can install the purchased domain for him

1. Rent a white IP address from your ISP
   
2. Register it in the A-record of the domain zone
   
3. Register the domain name in the settings of your web server
   
4. Set up port forwarding on your router
   

By free, I mean just take a free one and not register it in any services.

An unregistered domain name is not served by dns servers. Therefore, each client will have to register a correspondence between this domain name and your IP address in the hosts file. Otherwise, nothing will work.
