Ok i have everything set up for my site, now i just need a way i can set up my domain which will be "www.leetmovies.com" to redirect to my IP, also i have a dynamic IP which will change. So how will this work?

Thank you

You can read my tutorial at http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3806 or you can read the brief overview:

I assume you have registered your domain (which I see you haven't). After it is registered, sign up with an account at [url=zoneedit.com]ZoneEdit[/url]. Then, do what they say and replace the current nameservers with theirs in the control panel your domain registration company gives you. Second, create a new "A Record" with your IP pointing to www.leetmovies.com and leetmovies.com (two different records). Then, it should be functional. Since you have a dynamic IP, you can read ZoneEdit's tutorial on dynamic IPs.

EDIT: I prefer 000domains.com for registering your domain.

Yes, that will be a problem. When you access your website, it needs to be "leetmovies.com:8080" for it to work.

You can use a port redirect, but that won't be true DNS, and it can be a hassle.

Does your ISP block port 80 (and if so, who is your ISP?)
