Do you use the MyDynDNS Custom DNS service? I want to use my own domain name and host my own services. It looks like what I need to do is: 1. Set up an account wtih dyndyns.org 2. Delegate my domain from my old ISP to dyndns.org's nameservers. 3. Make a donation to dyndns.org. 4. Do other stuff yet to be determined... Thanks to you, John Hiemenz, Collins Richey, Bill Campbell for the input.
