A Registered domain name and static ip address is two different things. You can only get a static ip address from your ISP.
Your current registered domain name can be pointed at the static ip address you purchase from your ISP. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of vuthecuong Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 10:14 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: clarification before buying a internet static IP address I need from you advice before doign things. Up to now, I have a home web server using free DynamicDNS service of dyndns.org. With it, I can access directly to my home web server from ouside through Internet. Now for some reason, I not want to use DynamicDNS service anymore. So I tend to buy a staticDNS from domain reseller. Suppose that I only buyed a domain www.mydomain.com with internet static IP address : 74.52.8.254, not buyed hosting service from that domain reseller, can I be able to set up my own DNS server (in my home PC server) so that I can browse directly to my home web server by typing www.mydomain.com into address bar of firefox, opera? i meaned, in other words, in order to host one website so that in can be "seen" all over the world, I have no way but must use external hosting service? Tnx Sorry for my bad English _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
