Hi all,
I am in a class in which we have to download WAMP. I did, and I also
got Django (a Python web framework) since I love Python and had never
tried Django before. After using it, I really like it and I am toying
with setting up an old pc of mine as a server. It would be low
traffic, probably no more than a hundred visitors at a time (and
usually few to none), but I really like the idea of having control
over everything instead of renting space where I have to shell into it
and cannot add, for example, libraries or upgrades.

My question is: I had a domain registered, but I let it lapse. It was
through ipowerweb.com. First, can I re-register it for less somewhere
else, paying whomever gets paid for this sort of thing directly?
Second, is it possible to have that domain point to an ip of my
choice, namely my Apache server's ip? If so, how would I configure
this?

Thanks in advance. When I google stuff like this, I only get offers
for cheap domain registration, but they all come with server plans,
which I do not want.
