trouble setting up server

hello people.

 

not sure if this is the right place to post, so i'm sorry if it is.

 

right..........

 

i've installed windows server 2008 on a spare computer but i haven't a clue what to do with it.

my goal is to run my already built website from home on this server but i have no idea what i'm doing.

if anybody can give me a quick run down on what i need to do then this would be great.

i know its not going to be resolved on 1 post but hoping to resolve it over a period of time, so please be patient if i keep asking questions.

 

i do have a static ip address that i ordered with my bt broadband but not sure what i do with it.

i did try changing the tcp/ip settings on the internet protocol version 4 properties but i don't think the static ip address i got from bt matches up with the subnet mask.

 

look forward to your comments
