Hello,

Are you pointing the domain to your global IP address? Make sure you're NOT poiting it to your local one. Also make sure that the web server listens on your global IP (or domain) and not the local one. You also have to check ports so they are forwarded correctly, port 80 is probably default for your web server.

I can ping the domain and it's pointing to: 77.182.62.174. Is this the correct IP?

If it is, enter this page from the same machine that's hosting the home page: http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/ and enter port 80 to see if it's open. If it is open then it must be something in your web server that's failing, are you using Apache? XAMPP? Uni? And if it's not open you've forwarded it wrong.

Make sure that in your domain control panel you point to your external ip. and that port 80 is forwarded for the correct internal ip.

Its not on your computer, its in the domain control panel, on the site where you bought the domain.

Are you sure the ports are properly forwarded? And do ou have a dynamic ip?

make sure that you forwarded the right ip address
also im not advising you to use a domain of your ip address is not static
because your ip address will change every time you restart your router
if you have a dynamic ip address use no-ip.org better since thier client changes the sub domain ip automaticly

To allow Internet or Intranet access, edit file .htaccess located in the root folder wwwH):

1. Locate these lines:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

2. Disable local only access by commenting each line with an hash "#" as shown
#Order Deny,Allow
#Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
