I am new to SharePoint and developed a website in SharePoint Designer 2007. My company wants this website to be accessible by the public for certain customers to see. I have read numerous articles and not sure how to make this public. We are running WSS not MOSS. I'm not sure if this is something simple that involves Central Administration or if there are many steps involved?

First of all you need to purchase appropriate SharePoint Server for Internet Sites licences. Then have a look at the following post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointadmin/thread/d0747509-54c3-4853-a210-75fba112430e which has plenty of info about setting up Internet facing sharePoint sites.

Hi, You need to extend your existing web application in internet zone. Then you need to have DNS entries created for your site against your server. For the detailed entries refer this: http://microsoft-sharepoint-services.blogspot.com/2008/12/creating-public-internet-site.html I hope this will help you out.Thanks, Rahul Rashu
