SC__Programmer Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Can i set up my own nameservers? Kinda like ns1.mysite.co.cc? Quote
Krydos Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Yeah you can. You just need a server running a name server such as bind or nsd. Check out http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/nsd/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIND, http://www.isc.org/software/bind, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSD if you're curious to read more about it.

Guest Geoff Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I would recommend djbdns to their security guarantee versus BIND, which is known to have security holes. Quote
Krydos Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 http://cr.yp.to/djbdns All I see is "access denied" at that link. Maybe this is the right link? http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html Quote
SC__Programmer Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 ok well i download BIND,but how do i set it up? do i make 2 subdomains and upload the file to both of them? Quote
Krydos Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 ok well i download BIND,but how do i set it up? It depends a lot on your operating system. What OS are you running?

Guest Geoff Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I would NOT recommend running a server on windows, you will be sorry when your computer gets hacked. Quote
