I forwarded it and it was fine, excpet the adress bar still displayed http://myip/whatever/index.php When I masked it, if i typed in http://thedomainibought/whatever/index.php it would take me to my home page, currently the apache test page. Instead of the real /whatever/. If I do the second way (I do have a static IP) will just editing the host file do that? I have looked into using my own nameserver, but I'm 100% clueless on this too. Thank you for the help.
