I have just set up Apache for my Comp running XP.

I am wondering what my next step might be in creating a webpage with a domain name? IE how would i get the html on the page from here?

First I need to know...is this a home computer? or a work computer? Do you have a static ip or does it change every once in a while?

Do you have a domain picked out? Have you checked whois on register.com or networksolutions.com to see if that domain is available?
