Your ISP must point the name, www.mydomain.com to the IP address You choose if you have more than one to designate. You can't quite totally host your own site, you need the ISP set up to point at the Name. Contact them and they should be able to set it in a 24 hour period. HTH Dennis M.
RE: [newbie] somewhat OT: putting my server box on the Internet
yes you do.. either setup a dns server or use your ISP's, it depends if they let you or not.. the manuals you should be looking at are for bind or dyndns then you set your new dns server up to be the master for your domain name.. (your ISP will probably second it for you.) then anyone that does a lookup for that domain will get the IP from their dns which get it from a higher dns.. and so on and so on till it gets back to your dns server.. which tells them its your domain and gives the IP address you associated with it. so start looking into bind or dyndns. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kenn Murrah Sent: Tuesday, August 13, 2002 1:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [newbie] somewhat OT: putting my server box on the Internet in order to serve your web pages to the world, using Apache I presume, you should have a static IP address from your ISP.
