because of the URL=

http://dunz.ath.cx <~~ most FTP servers used this service [DYNDNS] for easy redirection

and the site is on port 7000, too

:confused: :confused:

You know it is posible to run and FTP Server and a Webserver on the same host!

As well as having the online/offline GIF from YaXay.com :bored:

yea, i know, but i dont think that's such a good idea

Why not? its compleatly safe doing this provided you set it up correctly. How do you think you upload files to your host? They have and FTP and Webserver running on the same machine.

yes, i know. but if you host your site on your PC, then why would you want to give out your IP ? once the hackers get that, then it's easy from there to get whatever they need from you :eek::eek::eek:

So why is it safe for webproviders to do that?

The answer is you secure you PC so that the hackers can't get into it, it you don't know how to secure your computer from hackers you shouldn't be running any public IP services on your machine.

what I was trying to say was that you [or anyone else] is taking a risk if you do that [i'm not saying that you shouldn't do it, tho]

just to let ya know.. you can never secure your pc enuf "so that hackers can't get into it" ;););)

[and before you ask, NO, I'm not a hacker !! :p:p:p:p

I agree you do have a point there and I see what you were trying to say, but even connecting to the intenet is taking a risk :D

yea, I know that, but that's why you should always be careful ;)
