Been scratching my head over this for a couple days now, is it even possible to configure ISP config DNS settings with a domain registered on No-IP or am I going wrong somewhere?

Thanks Guys

Not Possible. When someone buys a domain name, the registrar creates the association of
  • domain name -> IP address
When a program like a browser accesses a URL, it asks DNS for the IP address and then uses it to connect to the web site.
 
Thanks for the answer, ill just go ahead and purchase a domain.

I was hoping to be able to test my server setup before I spend any money but ah well!
 
You can :) Use localhost.com 127.0.0.1

edit \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
find the line 127.0.0.1 localhost
MODIFY it to 127.0.0.1 localhost.com localhost

save

to activate:
  • ipconfig /flushdns
  • net stop "dns client"
  • net start "dsn client"
