DNS Server

Hay all

So, I am going to be getting a small desktop computer to install a LAMP server on it.  I want to have a DNS server also.

I have a domain on godaddy.com that I want to use on this server, so when you go to mydomain.com, it shows that server using nameservers, not the IP redirect bullshit.

Problem is, I have no clue how to do this.  I don't know if it's possible to do this from a home ISP or not, but there is a thread on the ubuntu forums saying how to create a dns server:

I don't understand how my domain on godaddy.com is supposed to be setup on the server.  I heard that you need something like a no-ip.com domain to utilize this, and then have the domain on godaddy point to the nameservers from the no-ip domain you create.

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

Nameservers. Google it.

do you have a static ip that you are sure will never change? probably not.
do you really need to run a dns server? probably not.

Static IP or GTFO.

DynDNS/No-IP/etc., you don't run DNS server, you don't pay for static IP

dyndns + ddclient on a linux router is fuck win - who needs registered domains?

I have a static IP.


So the majority say that I shouldn't go with nameservers?

I'd like to so that I could use registered domains with virtual servers/subdomains/etc.  This isn't just me, it's a few other people who want small hosting for a small site.

You're asking shit on 4chan. You're obviously too stupid to run any kind of server.

Pay GoDaddy the measley fucking $3.50 a month you cheap fucking jew!

Might as well. You're already paying for the name.
