Hello,
I am trying to host my own domain name for my server. i installed bind and set it up. i think i have done this correctly. when i type in my desired domain name, since this was my first time i made a random name (dv6500321123.com), i get a page cannot be found error.

here are all my files:

bin - the folder that comes standard with BIND9

etc/named.conf:

options {
	directory "c:\named\zones";
	allow-transfer { none; };
	recursion no;
};


zone "dv6500321123.com" IN {
	type master;
	file "db.dv6500321123.com.txt";
	allow-transfer { none; };
};

key "rndc-key" {
	algorithm hmac-md5;
	secret "fHPeMX9WObW3T9ViBfVD+g==";
};

controls {
	inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
		allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
};


etc/rndc.conf:
# Start of rndc.conf
key "rndc-key" {
	algorithm hmac-md5;
	secret "fHPeMX9WObW3T9ViBfVD+g==";
};

options {
	default-key "rndc-key";
	default-server 127.0.0.1;
	default-port 953;
};
# End of rndc.conf

# Use with the following in named.conf, adjusting the allow list as needed:
# key "rndc-key" {
# 	algorithm hmac-md5;
# 	secret "fHPeMX9WObW3T9ViBfVD+g==";
# };
# 
# controls {
# 	inet 127.0.0.1 port 953
# 		allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { "rndc-key"; };
# };
# End of named.conf


zones/db.dv6500321123.com.txt:

; non server domain hosts
bill   IN  A      24.58.147.96
fred   IN  A      24.58.147.96

1. Have bind doesnt make you no need to buy domain name.
2. that domain name only can browse from your LAN
3. from point 2. because your LAN using Your server's dns. If your LAN not use your DNS or they use ISP's DNS they will be not able to browse that domain, why ???
because the domain doesnt exist.

you still need to buy domain
