Ubuntu Servers :: Pointing / Hosting Domain Name To Server At Home?

Oct 13, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu Server (32bit) on a machine at home. I've bought a domain name(s) via Heartinternet.co.uk and my ISP is Bethere.co.uk I have installed my LAMP Server on my home based server and it's accessible via my static IP address. HTTP is forwarded on my router to my Ubuntu (web)Server. Now then, in laymen's terms, I want my domain name to resolve to my Ubuntu Server. I have installed and configured Bind9 to this guide found online: http://goo.gl/M3Pk i understand that I need to do this in order to 'host' the domain name. Or alternatively, if my presumptions are correct, I could leave the domain name with the registrar and use their DNS config panel to add an A record to point at my webserver (static IP address)???

If I forward port 53 (default for DNS) to my server (after setting up bind9 correctly) and within my domain name hosting options change the nameserver settings to point at my static ip address then would this be enough to host my domain from my home network?

I feel I nearly have a whole picture but...not quite. There's a multitude of vague guides on the internet (vague or I'm not reading them properly!)

Ubuntu Servers :: Buying Domain / Hosting Web Server / All Domain Registers Come With Email Or Just Email Forwarding?

Mar 29, 2010

I am thinking about buying a domain name and hosting my web server.

I have seen pricing from $8 to $30 a year. Any favorites from fellow ubunters? Also this whole "whois" thing scares me, if I am correct my information I enter when buying the domain is enter into some big pool of information. People can find this information out and dig up important information. url Can I prevent this with private Whois or how do I set it up? This website examples some of my fears with this whole WhoIs thing, url whois/Private-Whois.html Does most/all domain registers come with email or just email forwarding or both? How does that work? At this moment, my only question about Web Hosting is how do I get Website Statistics as in: Stats, web analytics, web traffic stats and more? I will be web hosting through Ubuntu 9.10 gnome.

Ubuntu Servers :: Pointing A Domain To IP Address?

Aug 9, 2011

I have a server hosted with greatseeder.com, its a dedicated ubuntu server using Ubuntu 10.4.I have set up apache2 together with php5, and build a website from that. If you go though the ip address (http://94.23.251.209) the website loads fine, but if you go though the domain (athenagaming.com) it don't.I have registered the domain at domain.com. The nameservers I got from the host did not work, so I used a free dns site, to refer the domain to the ip address. The site I use is, http://freedns.afraid.org. I have signed up the domain, and added the nameservers i got from free dns to domain.com. But still it can't find the server though the domain, even though when I trace the domain it comes back all[URL]

Ubuntu Servers :: Unable To Resolve Host URL - Domain Setup / Home Based Web Server

Jan 18, 2011

I have setup a home based web server to host a photo blog for myself and my friends. I will be running wordpress and possibly a phpbb3 forum. I'd like to open this to discuss server administration, server setup, and server maintenance. However, I have a pretty good start on all of those but serving a domain name to my static ip. Here my static ip is 24.10.202.144. I registered a domain through [URL]... It appears that I have the domain working to forward to my ip. However, I am still getting this output file from apache.

[code]...

I have tested the domain name across a few different computers on different ips. It works appropriately. I just want to make sure I have it set correctly on the (apache) server side of things. Then I can get more into Zone Editing etc.

General :: Enabling Ssl With Only One Domain Pointing To Site?

Sep 6, 2010

My test server is going well for the past 2 months. I have learned a lot from searching the net for how to's and forums on questions I have. My next task on the to-do list is enabling ssl on my mail server. I have the ssl setup with an automatic redirect from http to https.It is working fine with a minor issue.I have 2 domains and several subdomains on the server. Since I have enabled ssl, it seems for any of the domain/subdomain links I type in with a https://, it takes me to my mail server site. How can I have it set to only one secure link to my mail server?

Ubuntu Servers :: Accessing Domain Name On Home?

Apr 18, 2010

I am a complete newbie at web servers, so I installed Ubuntu Server and have a LAMP set up. I have gotten dynamic DNS to link to my domain, and that seems to be working. My domain is 6py7.com. If I try to access my domain from within my home network it links me to my router's main page (192.168.2.1). I have my server set up with a static ip at 192.168.2.100 and have port forwarding set up.

Is there something I missed with the setup of this? I can only access my domain if I use a network outside of my home network, but if I am within my home network the domain name links to the router.

Ubuntu :: Web Hosting And .com Domain Name Purchasing?

Jul 13, 2010

I know this is an Ubuntu forum, but I couldn't think of a better place off the top of my head to ask peoples' opinions on web hosting and domain name purchasing. (That's a compliment, and yes, I am a Linux Mint/Ubuntu user).

I'm looking to purchase a .com domain name, and I'm looking for FTP hosting and email. Before giving me any advice, please know that I will not sign up for hosting with a company from which I cannot reclaim the domain name if I should ever choose to switch hosts. In other words, I need the guarantee that I own the domain [name], and not the host. Please let me know if you have an opinion.

Ubuntu Servers :: Access Web Site When Site's Domain Name / User's Local Server's Domain Name Are Same

Feb 18, 2010

In the office there is a local network with samba+openldap PDC. The local domain name is company.net. The company desided to create a corporate Website on a remote hosting and desided that the site's domain should be company.net which is same as local network's domain name. So now it is not possible to reach that corporate website from within the company's local network because, as I guess, bind9 which is installed on above menioned PDC looks for company.net on a local webserver. Is there a possibility to let people from this local network browse the remote site?

Ubuntu :: Hosting Web Site From Home

Feb 25, 2011

1) should questions about websites be posted here or the therver platform forum?

2) I'm trying to host a website from an old computer I have. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04; I have installed the LAMP package. I've made it's ip address static on my router (linksys WRT160nv3). I can ssh into it from my desktop on the same home network.

I've been following this guide: URL... I'm trying to make the server public. I've set up DMZ on my router to forward to my server's local ip address.

So now, after going to whatsmyipaddress.com, I can log onto my server from my desktop, which is on my home network, but not anywhere else.I'm fairly sure that my ip address from my ISP is dynamic, but it hasn't changed in the last hour.Let me know if you need anymore details. I'm very new to all of this.

Ubuntu :: Website Hosting From Home Computer?

Feb 17, 2011

1- How can I prepare my own website in my own pc at home? I have had used Nvu in the past, but it looked to me very unstable (it disappeared from my screen at simple use, despite re-installing it again and again), and I think the Kompozer was also not very far from it, my experience.

2- How can I prepare my pc to run that website? What Linux software I need to download for? Do I really need to have a great cash to transform my poor pc into it? I think that because it is Linux-Ubuntu, not Windows, the situation can not be any worst or more expensive... uh?

3- In theory, if I have that website in my own pc... how I know that hackers can only see my page (in a separate-isolated folder from other folders, right?) and can not take a tour of my entire pc, documents, photos, etc, including copying or stealing archives or Ooo documents? It is not that the same way when (by example) a hacker can steal the next Stephen King book or script and sell/display it worldwide without even his knowledge?

Server :: Using Two Servers For A Domain?

Mar 12, 2011

I have been designing websites for many years and because of the limitations of shared hosting, not to mention the HUGE costs of dedicated servers, I decided to host a couple of my sites from home. I've got a great setup and fast UL/DL speeds with ym provider. I have created 2 CentOS 5.5 servers and have them on 2 seperate dedicated IP addresses. My hosting company (inmotionhosting.com, because I love them) has gone ahead and changed the zones on a couple of my domains to point to one of my servers. It works great.

The reason I decided to host my own is for 2 reasons. One of my clients who markets with email uses a TON of my bandwidth. I now host the images at home and it keeps me well within my limits with my host. The 2nd reason is for functionality. Shared hosting doesn't allow for software upgrades and I tried the VPS, but the plan I could afford didn't offer enough for me. I figured that if I could build my own server, I can install whatever software I want on it. I own a couple of very popular sites that allow people to post their resumes, photos, video and audio. It's for Actors. Now the site automates all of the editing and processing on it's own which is awesome. However...all of that processing is draining the server. I decided to build a second one and now that one is on another IP address at home.

Using both of my servers (let's say "svr1" and "svr2"), how can I use the new one to just process the images, video and so on? For example; A user uploads their high-res photos through a script on a page at "svr1". I then want to send that photo over to "svr2" for processing, and then return the edited photos back over to the users folder on "svr1". I've got the site designed and all of the scripts, so that's not part of my question. I just want to know how to move files between the 2 servers automatically.

Ubuntu Servers :: Possible To Operate Web Server 'without' Registering Domain Name

May 14, 2011

I'm wondering if it's possible to operate a Web Server 'without' registering a domain name, using an IP address alone.I currently have Apache & Tomcat running on one of my workstations. I am currently using these servers as development sandboxes; and I have P2P Search Engine 'YaCy' running under Apache, which is accessible from the outside to the entire P2P network.

Since my Apache server is accessible from the outside, I was thinking that I might setup one of my other workstations as a server with just my 'external' IP address & port number as a way of reaching my site, i.e. http:// 255.183.47.201:8090/. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be possible. I seem to remember several of my former companies doing this on their corporate Intranets. Also, I wouldn't be locked into registering a domain name every year; and I wouldn't have to worry about any content restrictions. If my intended audience knows where to find me; I can't see any reason why this wouldn't work. And, I don't see why my site couldn't be indexed by search-engines. The only caveat I can think of is making sure I have enough bandwidth from my ISP to support the anticipated traffic.If this will work, I assume I can setup a regular website, an online store, podcast, or provide any other type of tradional web-service this way.

Ubuntu Servers :: Forward Traffic From A Domain To Another Server Behind A Firewall

Jan 29, 2010

I have a server on my router on the DMZ. All outside traffic goes to it. This server has Apache running and the domain mysite.com resolves to the the DMZ web server. I have a second server on the LAN that also has apache running. I want to set up another domain, myothersite.com to resolve to the second server on the LAN. Since the main server is on DMZ I have the DNS A records for myothersite.com pointing to the public IP that the DMZ is on.

How do I get myothersite.com to resolve to the second webserver on the LAN? What configuration do I need to do on my DMZ server so it routes traffic for myothersite.com to the other server on teh LAN? Do I use BIND DNS? If so please advise on how to set that up. BIND DNS seems confusing and I having trouble knowing how to configuring it. Is there another option besides BIND?

Ubuntu Servers :: Samba As Domain Member Server Authentication

Apr 20, 2010

I've been working for hours with Samba on Ubuntu Server 9.10 (Samba version 3.4.0), trying to get it setup simply as a fileserver that performs authentication to an NT 4 server (yes, I know, old and out of date). After much struggling, I finally realized that my configuration *was* working when the clients connecting (from XP, and Win2k clients, mostly) were actually joined to the domain (where the PDC is the NT 4 Server) and logged into the domain.For various reasons, many of the Windows clients at this location don't actually log into the domain, even though they have login/passwords that are valid users on the domain and they'll typically have some drives mapped to the PDC.

By the way, I have this working on another Linux box running Samba 3.0.28, so I'm sure it's possible, I'm just lost as to how to do it.I can provide plenty more information if it would help diagnose the situation. Does anyone have an idea of how I can get this to work? I'm sure it's possible, since the exact scenario worked in a recent version of Samba.
