Server Stuff

[OvRiDe]

You can use Webmin to manage domains and subdomains, IF you are using it to do your DNS to the internet. So for instance in GoDaddy you have to give them 2 DNS server (ie. NS1.blah.com and NS2.blah.com) if you are running Webmin on those servers then you can use Webmin. If you are using 3rd party for your DNS .. then it is all controlled at their server.

Oh, BTW SgtM .. have you checked your PMs?

Heh, when I finish

Most of the time I've spent on it so far is changing the theme. I can't find any I really like, so I downloaded one and I'm editing every image in PS to my liking. It sucks though, because whoever made the theme made the heading graphic 2 images, so it looks off because I couldn't get them to match up perfect. I think I'll download a new one and just start over. Shouldn't be too long before I have it running though.

Got it. The 3 that I own right now are going to expire next month. I dont have a use for them so it's no big deal. I just like playing around with webmin right now. Maybe I'll order a domain after the new year. We'll see.

How is the dynamic DNS working out for you now you've been using it a while? Is it effective? Any issues?

It's been working great actually. After realizing some of the things that were keeping it from it doing what I wanted it to do (most of them being my fault also) it's been pretty good.


Edit: Wow, I said "it" a lot.

while we're on the subject how did you get your external ip to point to your server?

Good to hear it. I'm thinking about taking one of these Apple PowerPC's and putting a linux server distro on it to run my sites from home. Dynamic DNS would be essential for me I think. If that happens I will be tapping your brain ... don't worry it won't hurt

I believe I did that with the FreeDNS service. You port forward to the IP of the WWW box (for me 192.168.1.3) with the router settings and then add your external IP to the FreeDNS and domain registration forms.
