Garry still there? hahahahah deevl4123 was funnny anyone here? jeev? yea need help mate with what quite new in owning a box how i can make my box resolved as a domain? your IP ? i have bought a domain name i just put my box ip in the my domain name NS? i use openbsd no you need my ip? 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. 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 ? it's more than that first you have to 'register' yourself as a nameserver where? icap? what's icap where did you buy the domain from name.com i can add and remove the NS list of my domain name.com should have an option when you login no, Stellar, you need a dns server on your box, point your domain ns to your box, make a zonefile on your box where you could create a host or something yes i knew that jeev point your domain ns to your box = my box ip?or nameserver domain name? first: what you want to do? first, you should probably find the option in name.com, without it it wont work 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 :/ it's not a ns list he h ok second question : you want to manage your domain on your own box? yes i just need direction what i should do to get my box resolved as mydomainname.com 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/ ok thanks trying it's gonna be long night how long normally the icann updated their NS list? 24/48hour but can be longer ok hycer do you know that if Garry already install the openbsd ports for us? i dont use openbsd, you should ask him directly or write at support@arpnetworks.com ok pkg_info will tell you what ports are installed admin around? thx todd 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 i was wondering, if i order how long till its up? the one i don't understand is how the client will know my NS ip? 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 i have to submit tickets to set my rdns? you just email support@ where you want it pointed, it will get taken care of ew. 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 .. i can host my own dns service tho and control my rdns that way right? of course sweet. well i dont need kvm, so eh. 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 todd bind9 known as named? but you do get vnc access (with or without ssh) to your physical console also i just hope arp is better then ircvps. stellar right I haven't heard of them it's installed by default right? not always Stellar 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 i checked on my rc.conf there is named_flags=NO yup for me also so far so good yekoms: on OpenBSD he's using so in this case yes, but yeah it can be other things on other os's thats how i was with ircvps, but 8 days is how long my current vps is down. still configuring though yekoms: bleh, that'd suck indeed ive never known bind9(named) to be installed by default unless you set that. Garry installed everything yekoms: bind9 is what openbsd has in base dunno though ah. not on freebsd. it just isn't enabled by default i had to install it. 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 ;-) i spend around 40/mo right now anyways. im going to ask for this months payment for a refund and prob buy here. I'm just a customer yammering, but I suspect you won't be disappointed here, I haven't been ;-) if he refunds, we'll find out. " damn i really should stop being such a cheapass and get myself a vps already" can't stop laugh 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 hi guys jeev: lol yes i just didn want to paste all...but can't stop really :V i'm his friend and i'm kissing hi don't mind man he is a jerk vm, who's a jerk ? my friend Time is 6:18pm, computer has been up for 2w 6d 9h 54m reboot time windows is maxing it anyone watching ufc? armenian guy is fighting i've noticed i'm the only person on freenode who watches sports.
