I know Verizon FIOS blocks port 80 which will not allow you to run a web server running VERIZON FIOS internet service. I would like to know if it is possible and if anyone has done it, to use a service such as no-ip.com ? Assign say port 8000 using no-ip and have that forwarded to your server at home which is running FIOS internet which should allow you to run a web server, exchange server and FTP server from your home using FIOS.

Don't even need to do that. I know a guy that runs his on port 25. Somehow he got dns entries to FQDN:25 I'd have to look that up to see how he did that. He might have used no-ip or other dynamic dns service. Otherwise I'd hope you have static with that to allow ip:port in address line. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

No, what you propose wont work. Services like NoIp work on IP addresses only. No port assignment is done or can be done. Services like NoIp and other Dynamic Domain Services don't ever see your data so cannot forward it. All they do is convert a domain name to an IP address and send that back to whoever requested it. You could run an FTP server as that uses port 21. Stuart

Before you try to do anything and unless you subscribe to Verizon FiOS Business plan, you should first read the Restrictions of Use of FiOS service (Paragraph 4 Item 3) spelled out in Verizon Online ToS (Terms of Service) HERE and what happens if you violated it. i_Xp/VistaUser

it is possible. Check out DNSForMe.com for starters. I ran into this problem too. I already owned a domain name, lets call it A. I purchased a second domain name, call it B. I setup URL forwarding on A (www.a.com) so that it points to B on the right port (www.b.com:8080). I setup my DNS record on B so that it points to my home IP address. I also setup a DNS record on A that points to my home IP for everything BUT www. I use MyDomain.com to do all this. They are a standard domain name manager. Good luck.
