I have been struggling to figure out how to get my sharepoint site collection an externally accessible address.
I can get to the site collection at the "root" with the external address created by by default by cloudshare.

Inside my VM I created a site collection under the "sites" managed path with a URL that looks like this http://sp2010:port/sites/Deploy

That is the site I really want to use externally and test on. I read on the forums to use SharePoint Central Admin “Alternate Access Mappings” to see if I can create an external URL for the above site,

But I don’t know how to give it a valid external URL. I don't seem to have enough information to do this.

Please help!
