To answer your questions: It's a FreeBSD jail that I rent from Exonetric, which I've been using for experimental / developmental purposes. I haven't registered a personal domain name for it - as it's mainly for me to mess about with than for the world to see - but it is bound to a public IP and generic domain name (http://jail0152.vps.exonetric.net/). I don't have access to the domain name that came with the jail - and I think that is probably where the problem lies. Here's the current text of my httpd.conf: http://pastebin.com/NSaj8YfS Output of ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/Gke651xt I tried adding additional entries for subdomains, but it didn't work - although I think I understand why that is now. Me having this jail is mostly an exercise in learning the whys and wherefores of remote Unix[-like] server administration - something tells me I need to learn more about the workings of DNS, as I'd never heard of CNAMEs before. Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated. Best regards, David
