Re: [ubuntu-in] Hosting sites on ubuntu
You can't directly use your own domain name with DynDNS. You have to use mydomain.secondarydomain.com and then add a CNAME record such that your registered domain points to mydomain.secondarydomain.com. 2008/10/14 mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 7:01 AM, mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tue, Oct 14, 2008 at 7:01 AM, mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 10:33 PM, Mehul Ved [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 9:41 PM, mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, I am planning to host a website on my Ubuntu host with LAMP server and drupal CMS, and bought domain name also, everything from my side is done, Is it just a hobby site or your primary one?

I can connect from outside using my ipaddress. is that called DNS server setup? If you have a router you might need to enable port forwarding if your unable to access the webserver via your ip. In case you are interested , I have spare web space . You can point your domain to the space and set up your site there.

Re: [ubuntu-in] Hosting sites on ubuntu
You have to get a free account from a Dynamic DNS service provider like www.dyndns.com .You will get a hostname like example.selfip.com or example.homeip.net, etc. Next you need to install an update client - there is one called ddclient in the ubuntu repo. It checks your external IP and updates DynDNS' records so that example.selfip.com always resolves to your IP address. Now in the control panel for your domain, you have to add a CNAME record. Suppose you have registered the domain example.com. Then you need to CNAME www.example.com to example.selfip.com. The purpose of CNAME record is, that www.example.com will now resolve to the IP address of example.selfip.com ,i.e. your IP. 2008/10/13 mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear all, I am planning to host a website on my Ubuntu host with LAMP server and drupal CMS, and bought domain name also, everything from my side is done, but dont know how to link my dynamic ipaddress with domain name. can any one of you help me?

Re: [ubuntu-in] Hosting sites on ubuntu
If the domain registrar doesn't allow to add CNAME records (as it was in my case), then you need to get an account with some free DNS service provider like freedns.afraid.org . In the Domain registrars control panel, you need to change the nameserver responsible for your domain to those of freedns'. It can take upto 48hrs for the change to be reflected globally. So wait for that period. You can check by doing a whois lookup for your domain. After the change has taken place, you can add required DNS entries in Freedns' control panel. Freedns allows upto 20 records including mx records for mailservers, A records, txt records, CNAME, URL forwarding. Hopefully your domain registrar is better than mine, so that all these extra hassles are not required. 2008/10/13 mallikarjun arjun [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear all, I am planning to host a website on my Ubuntu host with LAMP server and drupal CMS, and bought domain name also, everything from my side is done, but dont know how to link my dynamic ipaddress with domain name. can any one of you help me?
