Hey there, I had a couple of DNS servers (I still maintain some for a client) and a server, I remember seeing some DNS services, easydns.com comes to mind, can't think of any others off hand... you can always google for dynamic dns services (for cable, dsl..etc connections).
I was running on a Linux platform, and was using Qmail (and I still maintain a Qmail mail server for a client). Qmail worked very well for our needs. For my projects, I recently decided to become a reseller of another company's... after a freak power outage and my UPS seemed to fail... my Linux OS wants to sleep... Luckily, I lost nothing and had a backup system that I could get up in very little time... so anyways, for my little company, I lost money. But, I did learn alot. :-) So it wasn't all a waste after all...
