Hi Folks
I have a 2008 server from epichosts. I wondered how to connect a domain to it. I have pointed the domain to the ip using an a record but all i get is
Server Error
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Any help would be great thank you.
 
The A record is all that is needed. Sounds like you don't have the web server configured correctly
 
There are lots of guides on the internet. Just search whatever platform you're developing on. Apache, LightHTTPd, Ngix, IIS/ASPX etc.
 
Thank you. I will be running Wordpress hopefully. Have setup MySQL ok. Was hoping to run asp too if that’s possible. I have a Linux server so was hoping to try asp or something different. Would that be iss/aspx. Sorry never used windows server before.
 
You can run any of them on Windows. IIS/ASPX is the most common on Windows.
