Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I didn't know where else to ask a (general) question like this; but you guys might be more experienced in such things. I have registered for a domain. Now my problem is I want to host it, but I don't know how to go about doing it. I surfed thet Net a bit, and came across lots of hosting companies, but what I want is to host the domain myself. I want to run my own nameserver, and want to have links like www.mydomain.com, www2.mydomain.com etc ... I understand that one solution is to get a leased line from my ISP, but I checked and saw that most of the prices are way to high, and plus, the overheads of laying the cable, etc etc. How then, do most people do it ? I mean, I have seen plenty of personal sites on the Net, and I'm sure there must be some cheaper alternative out there ... is a leased line the only way to get a static IP, or are there other ways ? I hope somebody could help. Thanks, Rakhesh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
