I have a domain name and my own web server. My question is whether or not you can point a domain (www.site.com) to point to http://my-ip/~user
Is this possible?

I don't believe you can use a "domain pointer" to 'point' to an htm page as in your ~user example, only to the home-page. However, you can use forwarding or redirect to do that.

If for example you had IIS, you could set the domain name to point to your IP address and the sub directory of your choosing, no problem. You could run the web server as the IP address, a domain name or both, etc.
Hope that helps.
