Server setup help

You have to install the DNS service specifically. Go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel, then select Windows Components. It'll be under Application Servers I believe. Once installed, you should see a new MMC snap-in or direct access to the console from Administrative Tools.

Hi xx64stangexx, Do what cyberhostpro suggested. Keep your domain with your registrar and make some A Records that point "WWW", "*", "@" to your home IP. unless you plan on having a lot of Domains, not worry about hosting your own DNS server.

Hello

Check in IIS that you only have one website with 68.109.88.131 (port 80) enabled.

If your running this from home, i recommend hosting the DNS with someone else (ie the domain registrar may offer it free) and just point the WWW and * (A Records) to your IP. that way when someone types www.your-domain or http://your-domain or http://ANYTHING.your-domain it will point to your home IP.
