DNS changes?
Authored by: vonleigh on Oct 31, '01 07:29:53PM

Hello,

I was thinking of setting up a mail server as in the article. Here's the thing, I have a static IP and a domain name registered (although it's hosted by another company). How do I get the DNS to point to my IP? I know dyndns does it for $50 a year, but that would be for dynamic IP's. Is there a way to do it cheaper since i have a static ip?

I would like to run my own webserver/mail and save my hosting charges, since I have enough bandwith and now with MacOS X I trust my computer to be stable enough.

I've been looking for pages that give an explanation, but it's been hard to come by. I only found internic's explanation on resolvers <www.internic.net>.


thanks,
Vonleigh

Is there a service available that will point the domain to my OS X server that uses Dynamic IP address from the ISP?

www.dyndns.org - you'll need to download the Mac OS X dyndns client, too. -rob.

I've had pretty good good luck with zoneedit.com. They let you manage up to five domain names for free, with all of the features I can think of, including email forwarding.
