Hi,

If you going to host on your machine or other machine, I suggest you use dyndns service. You only have to pay 1 time fee about 30 USD. They are very good service. Check out

I second Wullie's advice. Zoneedit is indeed a very nice and free service.

when i run dns2go services i have to install a program to link the dns to my apache server and site. with zone edit there is no app so how do i make the 3 communicate? By the 3 i mean my web name mp3thug.com my nameservers and apache?

 

[danielhozac]

Zoneedit is primarily for those with static IPs or IPs that doesn't change very often. Mine only changes about once every one and a half month, which means that the manual updating doesn't give me much pain.

Check out the FAQ section on Zoneedit, it has a few programs that allow you to use dynamic IP's with zoneedit.

When your IP changes, the app will auto-update the zones for you.

Hope this helps

although the ip is dynamic it only changes every month or so. My real problem is that i can't get apache to serve the name using znets nameservers. I am not sure if i made an error when editing the conf but i can't seem to figure out exactly why the name wont connect to the nameservers and pull from apache. my conf is posted here a few posts down if that helps you help me.
thanks in advance

Hi,

Have setup your DNS server? In order to use your domain.com to point to your web server you require an entry in DNS server which will point to your

http://www server.

i have setup dns through zonedit.com and put the new nameservers into godaddy.com which is my name registrar. If there is something further to setup with dns i may be missing something. Please let me know

HI,

Try run qeury on your domain. nslookup

http://www.yourdomain.com.

If you get answer then you are fine. Make sure your answer is your ip that run http server.

P/S: you have post to 2 different forum

just did the ns lookup and the ip info looks correct although the site will not run. I am thinking that the error needs to be in the conf file. are you sure that everything looks correct?
