Sharepoint 2013 - domain configuration, external users, creating subsite in site collection, moving subsites

Question

Hello all, first of all thank you for reading this post. Please bare with me, I am new with this environnement. I have had several problems in past week trying to configure a local sharepoint server 2013, most of it went well but now I am stuck and I badly
need help! I intend to make sharepoint available through the Ethernet connection in my office.
Here is my config:
Sharepoint 2013 (local)
Microsoft SQL 2012
Microsoft Server 2012
I am able to access the sub-site I created in the Sharepoint Central Administration Web Application.
My first problem is, I created another Web Application with the following URL config http://intranet.[domain].com but I am not able to access it through my browser. It seems to point to bad IP I probably configured accidentally a CNAME on my hosting Cpanel
with the IP 192.168.1.199. So, When I ping the URL I do not get any connection. Just that it couldn't connect to 192.168.1.199. Now I added a CNAME on my CPANEL for the URL http://intranet.[domain].com --> 127.0.0.1. Is this the correct way to do it?
More information: The DNS manager has been configured following this tutorial:
Create SharePoint 2013 Web Application

I am not too sure of the proper configuration for the IIS Manager.
Anomymous Authentication is enabled
Windows Authentication is enabled
Everything else is disabled.
My second problem is that I cannot invite any user to the site. Even the one that have the email corresponding to our domain. Will I be able to invite parent domain users if the Web Apllication is properly configured with the CNAME on the Cpanel?
I tried to activate the External user invitation feature from Site Collection Features but it's not in the list. I am logged in as an administrator but next to the wrench it says "System Account" (with an arrow pointing down) so I guess this is
the "logged in user as..."? Am I missing something here?
Any advices would be greatly welcomed. I've run out of ideas.
Much appreciated,
Herb

Hello Ramu, thank you for your fast reply.
Quote Ramu: "You have to create A record called intranet.your-domain.com points to your SharePoint Server
IP and also loop back ip address in the host file entry on the SharePoint server(127.0.0.1  intranet.SharePoint.com)"
Is this a record on our corporate website Cpanel? What should I put in the "Address" field of
the Record (we do not have static IP)?
For the loop back, is this on the DNS Manager of our local Sharepoint 2013 server?
Quote Ramu: "3.
if you want to publish this externally, then your site needs to publish in your Network and it should points to your public static IP in your public domain control panel(Cpanel)."
In the first scenario where I only want intranet access, should everything be OK with the above mentionedconfiguration a DNS Record:
Which address should it be for the record?
Should I assign a fix IP to our server like 192.168.1.55?
What if another desktop computer gets an IP conflict with the server
fix IP, or what if we have to shut down the server everyday will the server IP change ?
General question: From what I understand, it is possible to put a DNS Record on the public Cpanel from our corporate website with a local IP that will only be resolved
if accessed through the local network? Ex.: Name: intranet.[our-corporate-public-domain].com, Address: 192.168.1.55 ?
Much appreciated RAMU.

Herb
