AW: How do I Hosting my own domain?

[Michael Boehme]

Hey,

Nameservers are those who actually resolve "domain names" into
"ip-addresses".
For hosting just your own page you wouldn´t want to go into the hassle of
setting up and running your own nameserver(S).

Where yes it´s true, for redundancy reasons you need to of them, a primary
and a secondary.

Give it a try and ask your ISP if they can do the nameserver support for
you.
They will have their own nameservers and can easily set this up for you.

Also see if the company that did the domain-registration for you might be
able to do nameserver support.

regards
Michael

Betreff: How do I Hosting my own domain?


Hi!

Could someone please point me in the right direction.

I have setup IIS on my Windows 2000 server and configured a default page. I
can get to the default page from my intranet without a problem. I can also
get to the default page from the internet if I type in the static IP address
that my ISP has allocated.

I currently own a domain name, and would like to type in my domain name on
the internet and arrive at my default page. (Basically, I want to have a go
hosting my own domain)

Someone told me I have to setup "Nameserver delegation", so I looked at the
AUNIC (Australian NIC,
http://www.melbourneit.com.au/maintenance/comau/nameserver/) site and it is
asking me for a primary & secondary hostname and IP address.

What values do I type in there? I tried the obvious (my static IP) for the
primary, but it insists on a secondary?

Am I on the right track, could someone outline what I have to do.
Thanking you in advance.
