Just use "Ed" as supplied with Workbench! :-)

If you want your Amiga to serve web pages, have a look at the collection of httpd tools on Aminet as a starting point...

P.S. Why is this in the "Amiga on eBay" section??!

To follow on from Castellen's advice - with the likes of DynDNS.org, you'll find that some Ethernet-based ADSL routers (mostly the more recent ones) have native support for this built in.

So effectively, you have to register with DynDNS to get a free domain name, enter the details into the ADSL router, then the router itself deals with updating the DNS entry when your dynamic IP address changes.

I guess you have an ADSL router or cable modem of some sort? If so, what's the make and model? If DynDNS is mentioned in the manual, there's a good chance it's supported directly.

The rough steps are:
1. Register with DynDNS
2. Enter the DynDNS details into your router
3. Configure your router to allow incoming requests on port 80 (the default for web traffic) to be redirected to your Amiga

If you're using the router in its default configuration and have all your local IP addresses managed by DHCP, you will need to alter some settings!

But we can help with that once we know what your router is...
