Testing a Web Site Connected to the Internet

Steps to Test:

1. Verify Public IP Mapping:

   • Ensure the public IP is correctly mapped to your IIS server via NAT or port forwarding.

2. Check Firewall & Port Access:

   • Port 80 (HTTP) or 443 (HTTPS) must be open on both server and network firewall.

   • Use this command to test:

telnet yourdomain.com 80

• Use Browser & Ping Tools:

  • Try accessing: http://yourdomain.com

  • Use tools like:

    • https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com

    • tracert yourdomain.com

• Check DNS Propagation:

  • Verify DNS records using:

nslookup yourdomain.com
