I have an FTP server running and people can access that just fine.
It is running on port 21. I just tried the validator but it said
the address has to be in the form of a URL and not an IP. I wonder
if that is the problem? I was going to purchase a domain name
anyway ... maybe I will just do that.

As I said, many ISPs explicitly block port 80, so the fact that FTP
works is in no way an indication that a website should work. But,
yeah, it's an indication that you do indeed know how to port-forward,
which is a good sign. Try the server on an alternate port and see if
it works there. Purchasing a domain name will not fix the problem -
it will merely cause the problem to happen at a hostname, rather than
at an IP address.
