Some registrars (registries?) require at least two *distinct* IP addresses for a primary and secondary DNS server; some of them even check that they are not on the same /28 subnet. If you have this problem, you could always sign up with a DNS service provider for additional DNS servers. Some of them are free, others may cost around $15 to $25 per year. > in your case, you will probably have to purchase your static IP first. > during > the time that this is being set up, continue to use your dyndns service, then > after the IP is in place and stable, buy your domain name. when you are > setting up the domain, you can then specify the IP address that you already > have up and running as the DNS server. it would be a good idea to already > have the DNS zone written and running on your server while you are making > this change.

You have a web site that you are hosting on your computer at home. You currently have a dynamic IP address. That's between you and your Internet service provider. You can get a static IP address from the, and then your IP address will always be the same. If you have a domain, presumably you used someone to acquire that domain for you. When/if you get a static IP address, just tell them what the static IP address and they can point www..com to that IP address. As for whether or not you can host a domain on your home computer so that it can be seen all over the world, read your contract with your Internet service provider. If it allows you to, then you can. If it doesn't, then you can't, and should use a hosting provider to host the site.

RE: clarification before buying a internet static IP address
A Registered domain name and static ip address is two different things. You can only get a static ip address from your ISP. Your current registered domain name can be pointed at the static ip address you purchase from your ISP. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of vuthecuong Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 10:14 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: clarification before buying a internet static IP address I need from you advice before doign things.

Re: clarification before buying a internet static IP address
Tnx for quick response. I would like to confirm as below: You said that: "You don't want to buy a domain (or at least not in the first place). The thing you need is a static IP address, first, and that's not being 'sold' by a domain reseller / registrar." If I don't buy a domain being 'sold' by a domain reseller, so how can I obtain a static IP address? Looking foward to hear from you.

Tnx Sorry for my bad English You don't want to buy a domain (or at least not in the first place). The thing you need is a static IP address, first, and that's not being 'sold' by a domain reseller / registrar. As soon as you've got a static IP address (either provider independent or not) you may either 1) let a DNS A entry from your domain point to this IP address or 2) still use dyndns.org (even with static IP addresses).
