deevl4123 was funnny Stellar: anyone here?
jeev? jeev: yea Stellar: need help mate jeev: with what Stellar: quite new in owning a box
how i can make my box resolved as a domain? jeev: your IP ? Stellar: i have bought a domain name
i just put my box ip in the my domain name NS?
i use openbsd jeev: no Stellar: you need my ip? jeev: you need to create a ns, create the hosts (auth ns's)
and then point to those
it'd probably be best for you to ask up_the_irons if he does free dns hosting
or use a free dns hosting service. Stellar: i know the minuses i hosted my own is if my box goes down then thats it
so i just make dns with name ns.mydomain.com ? jeev: it's more than that
first you have to 'register' yourself as a nameserver Stellar: where?
icap? jeev: what's icap
where did you buy the domain from Stellar: name.com
i can add and remove the NS list of my domain jeev: name.com should have an option when you login hycer: no, Stellar, you need a dns server on your box, point your domain ns to your box, make a zonefile on your box jeev: where you could create a host or something Stellar: yes i knew that jeev
point your domain ns to your box = my box ip?or nameserver domain name? hycer: first: what you want to do? jeev: first, you should probably find the option in name.com, without it it wont work Stellar: i already found it jeev,i can add and remove the ns list of my domain name in name.com
hycer i want box get resolve as my domain name
:/ jeev: it's not a ns list he
h hycer: ok second question : you want to manage your domain on your own box? Stellar: yes
i just need direction what i should do to get my box resolved as mydomainname.com hycer: ok then, install bind -> create a zone file with your domain and A records -> point your domain ns to your box ip/ns.yourdomain.com and read http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ Stellar: ok thanks
trying
it's gonna be long night
how long normally the icann updated their NS list? hycer: 24/48hour but can be longer Stellar: ok
hycer do you know that if Garry already install the openbsd ports for us? hycer: i dont use openbsd, you should ask him directly or write at support@arpnetworks.com Stellar: ok ***: yekoms has joined #arpnetworks toddf: pkg_info
will tell you what ports are installed yekoms: admin around? Stellar: thx todd toddf: you need to understand the difference between a `host' record and a `domain name' both of which are necessary to host your own dns
the `host' record is your nameserver's name that is put directly into the toplevel zone files, so people can use ns1.foo.com to resolve foo.com, called glue records
yekoms: it is a faq around here, if up_the_irons isn't responding, email support@ for whatever you need yekoms: i was wondering, if i order how long till its up? Stellar: the one i don't understand is how the client will know my NS ip? toddf: also, as a freebie, you also email support@ if you want reverse dns, send support@ a ssh public key for access to serial console/hard reboot/etc of your vps, and email support@ if you need bandwidth graphs made available
yekoms: oh, orders happen the same evening usually, not sure about the weekend though yekoms: i have to submit tickets to set my rdns? toddf: you just email support@ where you want it pointed, it will get taken care of yekoms: ew. toddf: there is a bit of manual in the setup process here, but IMHO the value and price is hard to beat
name one VPS that uses KVM and permits serial console securely via ssh .. yekoms: i can host my own dns service tho and control my rdns that way right? toddf: of course yekoms: sweet. well i dont need kvm, so eh. toddf: you get a VM on linux/KVM and do with it what you will, as if you have your own hw
KVM as in the virtualization technology Stellar: todd bind9 known as named? toddf: but you do get vnc access (with or without ssh) to your physical console also yekoms: i just hope arp is better then ircvps. toddf: stellar right
I haven't heard of them Stellar: it's installed by default right? yekoms: not always Stellar toddf: I've been with arp for several months now, once setup (ordered one day, woke the next day to access to my vps) I have only been impressed Stellar: i checked on my rc.conf there is named_flags=NO
yup for me also
so far so good toddf: yekoms: on OpenBSD he's using so in this case yes, but yeah it can be other things on other os's yekoms: thats how i was with ircvps, but 8 days is how long my current vps is down. Stellar: still configuring though toddf: yekoms: bleh, that'd suck indeed yekoms: ive never known bind9(named) to be installed by default unless you set that. Stellar: Garry installed everything toddf: yekoms: bind9 is what openbsd has in base Stellar: dunno though yekoms: ah.
not on freebsd. toddf: it just isn't enabled by default yekoms: i had to install it. toddf: the way I looked at it when I started arp, for $10 I could experiment for a month
I did, had another $8.95 experiment at bsdvm
I kept arp and let bsdvm go
they nat the public Ip they allocate
with arp I get a subnet of v4 and a /48 of v6
native
plus I get more resources at arp than bsdvm for similar pricing (more mem) .. unlimited bandwidth of bsdvm was interesting but not useful with nat for me
what kinda vps you need, yekoms? obviously freebsd, but .. stable sounds like a 1st requirement ;-) yekoms: i spend around 40/mo right now anyways.
im going to ask for this months payment for a refund and prob buy here. toddf: I'm just a customer yammering, but I suspect you won't be disappointed here, I haven't been ;-) yekoms: if he refunds, we'll find out. hycer: "<devel4123> damn i really should stop being such a cheapass and get myself a vps already" can't stop laugh jeev: hycer, the other thing made me laugh
yekoms, we're pretty much very happy with what we have
and i haev a lot of actual physical servers
but i couldn't give up the opportunity to get this
i dont even use it Stellar: hi guys hycer: jeev: lol yes i just didn want to paste all...but can't stop really :V Stellar: i'm his friend and i'm kissing hi
don't mind man
he is a jerk
vm, jeev: who's a jerk ? Stellar: my friend ***: heavysixer has quit IRC ()
