custom vhost with own domain

Erinthru · Post by **Erinthru** » Tue Jun 01, 2004 4:31 pm

I'm trying to setup a vhost that should point to my own domain.
How do I point, should I use the name servers of the shell account?
And how does that work out when I already use 2 other name servers, for my web hosting?

Thanks.

Well, if you want vhost, then you'll need to have domain (if you don't have one, you can get some cool subdomain at www.afraid.org).Then when you have domain, point it to your ip, and email your ISP that you would like to have reverse dns to your domain (give him domain name).

But some isp's don't give reverse dns's, so in that case you will need to use ipv6 (my isp don't give reverse dns

)

First, register ipv6 tunnel at any provider you want, then download asybv6 if you use windows, or edit config for linux.After you did this, click on Create or delete a reverse DNS delegation for a block allocation (if you use bt exact), and then put your domain name there.But before doing this, you need to point your domain (AAAAA - pointing to ipv6) to your ipv6.In your ipv6 field, you'll need to enter your uncompresed ipv6, you can uncomprese your ipv6 here (mark 'full' uncompresed' and put your ipv6 at right).Then wait some minutes (ofcource bofore this you need to setup asybv6 or linux script) and you'll have your nice host:P

Yeah I use freedns.afraid.org as well.
It is cool and so are the admins over there.

It is pretty simple you can use all public domains
to create subdomains and point them to free ips
on your box then you can get them reversed from
your isp and use them as vhosts.

The dynamic dns hosting over there is great...
I currently have some of my domains pointing
over there too which are free for public use.
