I am attempting to host out of my home. I have now a static address and I can access my site via the ip address. My problem comes in when I want to direct my domain name to my ip address. My particular registrar actually wants a "name server" address to register rather than an IP address. I understand that the name server keeps track of my IP address. I would like to use my one box to be all of; name server: ns1.skytrackercanada.com host for : www.skytrackercanada.com virtual host for: www.someoneelse.com I just don't understand why this is a two step process; Why can't my domain name just be mapped _directly_ to my IP address? Why does the name server have to get in between? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
