I have about 20 hosting accounts, but they are shared. So the MySQL is slow. I have a domain baddblog.info (a blog site ~duh~) that I want to host on my local computer, using my local database xampp/MySQL.
So what i have is the domain parked on a host server, the nameservers pointed to ns#.zoneedit.com and ns#2.zoneedit.com and a stealth redirect to my localhost IP address. ex.. www.baddblog.info points to IP address 99.252.22.106 apache is running port 80. I found something in another post on here about the httpd file so I set this:
#
Listen 99.252.22.106:80
#Listen 80
changing #Listen 12.34.56.78
Listen 80
to the above.
In theory, this will cause apache to listen on my ip address (doesn't change) on port 80, so when the nameserver directs to 99.252.22.106 I should get the wordpress installation? I cant really tell, because it works on my local computer and I cant see it on others yet.
Also: is there a way to use my local SQL database from a webhosting platform? I have full root access and access to the cgi and ini files on the shared hosting platform.
