Hosting small website

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to create my small website and host it at home. I don't mind about 
speed. All i need is to acess the website. I know there is a webserver feature, 
but i dont know if this has any link with what I want. Could someone help me 
please?

Go to the webserver service page in the web interface
Set "web server folder" to the directory where your website is stored. Make 
sure the main page is called index.html.
Check the "Enable web server" box.

You should now be able to access the site with <address-of-nas>:8080 from your 
local net.

To make it accessible from the outside forward port 80 on your router to port 
8080 on the nas. 

You probably want to sign up with some ddns service unless you want to remember 
your ip address.

Also some internet providers won't let you run your own web site. In that case 
try to use a different outside port.

Thank you for the fast answer! Works like a charm! 

The only point is that i must put the index.html (and the rest) on the root of 
the usb key. Well i got 3 folder since it's a little site so I dont really 
mind. Now I get to the ddns part, but my isp said that i could redirect 80 to 
8080 (i did it with an online helper from my isp).

Bottom of the line, we can host site on the nas using the method above. Thank 
you!
