http://192.168.0.2

You need to add a so-called "hairpin NAT" rule.
Here's a good description:

Should be something like this:
/ip firewall nat
add chain=srcnat src-address=192.168.0.0/24 dst-address=192.168.0.2 protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=masquerade

Well, I'm not an expert, but similar settings work for me just fine.
You have your server running on 192.168.0.2, right? What port your web server is running on? How do you connect to it from outside - is it just the domain.name or domain.name:port ?
Can I see your current NAT configuration?
