Hi, Jon. I've managed to get a Windows 2000 Server serving my clients' websites, but never could figure out the DNS part.. I need to invest in a "Windows 2000 Server for Dummies" book to find some starter info on how to handle DNS, start to finish.
I'm hosting multiple sites under a single IP and I haven't been able to figure out Host Headers, either. I'm missing something somewhere. The only way I've been able to get sites accessed is by forwarding (masked) to the actual folder on my server using the static IP assigned by my ISP to my router, e.g. "www.BodafordHomes.com" would be setup at GoDaddy to forward (again, masked) to http://66.79.46.138/cfdocs/bodafordhomes/index.cfm. Then the site serves. If I try to use a Host Header for the site and call it www.BodafordHomes.com, then the forwarding fails. I'm not sure if I'm doing what I should do with the server or not, but perhaps I'm not setting up what I need with GoDaddy. Their "Parked" servers handle the DNS. Is that what you're referring to when you talk about GoDaddy handling the DNS, or is there more. (I'll visit GoDaddy and do some research on this, too) Any advice and insights is appreciated....
