What am I doing wrong with hosting my website on OS X Server?

[Garthy]

Hello, I purchased OS X Server several months ago and am still failing to host my website. I have followed many tutorials and still haven't had any luck.

I would really appreciate it if someone could correct me on what I'm doing wrong or what I need to do.

(BTW, I'm using Yosemite or whatever it is.)



Here's my host name set up:

You must be registered for see links

(I have registered a free domain for the moment with freenom)



When setting up my host name, I automatically set up my DNS:

You must be registered for see links

Do I need to edit my forwarding servers or anything?

You must be registered for see links

As I go to set up the website, I get a red circle (when I should be green). I have registered the domain:

You must be registered for see links

Anyway, when continuing this is what it looks like:

You must be registered for see links

When I view the server website, this is what it looks like:

You must be registered for see links

What do I need to edit on my domain registrar?



This is the name server page:

You must be registered for see links

What nameservers do I need to put in?



This is the DNS page:

You must be registered for see links

What record do I need to add?

The the name 'server'?

What type is it?

WTF is TTL?

Is the target my IP Address?



It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help my out, I am a nooooob.

Thanks.

Why would you purchase an OSX server anyways? That's where you go wrong.

I didn't even know that was a thing, it sounded like a joke at first.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a Raspberry Pi, portforward it and use that as a web server?
