Hi, Kate

You can actually host your own DNS servers - even if I'm not sure that's a very good idea cause it's a real full time job...

In that way, you won't have to pay anyone. Also, while it's highly recommended that you have two DNS servers, for fault tolerance, it's not a requirement.

My best advice would be that you can use the Windows DNS server to do so, and you can even host the DNS server on the same machine as the Web server. All you need to do thiis is forwarding DNS connections to the IP address of your Web server on your private network.

In your domain configuration, you'll ask to point to the IP address on the public interface of your router for your DNS server.

Also, you can have a look here, this might help (a lot): http://quick-help.net/Host-Own-Domain

Don't hesitate to write another post if you have some more problems with this DNS stuff.

Good luck!

Hi
I want to know if it is possible to host my website in my own web server at home?I am using Linux Os with Apache installed on it. so i want to know if it is possible and if it is,then please i need to know the steps i should follow to accomplish this.
The reason I'm doing this is for studies because now I'm learning by my self LAMP and also i want to learn other related web technologies ./
Regards....

Ahhh i;ve been trying to figure out bind9 and domain names for weeks, each time i get stuck and more confused, please someone post a nice and easy(dummy) version of how to setup, run, and test a DNS server such as BIND 9. and please dont just post a site name to go to. i've probly already been to it ;)

So how did it work out for u? are you up and running, I'm currently running my web server on Ubuntu "linux" Apache, php 5 and mysql4? don't remember. My advice is not to use LMAPP or XAMPP. I tried it out back then and I found it to be to complicated. If your learning from the bottom up then don't take shortcuts until u know everything.and feel conferable. LAMPP has all that software pre-configed for you yeah great. Well after it started messing up I couldn't fix it. So what I decided to do is just install apache, then php, then mysql. And build from the bottom- up. It was actually very very easy that way. If anyone has any question on setting up a web server on linux Ubuntu "only" feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I'd be lying if I said I never needed help.

I would like to set up my own website, I heard it is time consuming but i already have my host name and domain name, how do i start and can this be done?

How do I make my own site, with out using someone else's? They did it somehow.

Hello everybody :) to those of you wanting to run your own website from your home pc (windows xp)
download wampserver 2.0, this is a very simple and free way of getting that site up and running, install
it to the desired location on your hard drive i think the default is C:\wamp\www
during setup your asked which default browser to use, if you are unsure just click Open to use your existing default browser.

Now you will have on your desktop the wampserver icon, open it to start your server, you can use extensions such as .php or .html for creating your websites within your newly installed dir of C:\wamp\www.

I personally use PHPNuke 8.0 as i run a gaming clan website and it suits my needs. you need html knowladge regardless of what you choose to use.

If your handy with html and you have your pages made up already simple 'upload' or drag n drop them into your C:\wamp\www folder, you should, once you have started your server up, have the icon in the system tray, left click that and choose localhost at the top to view your site.

You may link domain names to your IP address with some domain name registrars but not all, check this out before you commit to choosing your name from any registrar.

Hope this has helped some of you :)
