Hi, I need your help please. On my personal FreeBSD server connected to an ISP with static IP address, I'm planning to setup several websites with their own sub-domains from my main domain as shown below. I just want to know some answers to my question= s before I start. Main domain: www.exampledomain.ph <http://www.exampledomain.ph>; Sub-domains: sub1.exampledomain.ph <http://sub1.exampledomain.ph>; sub2.exampledomain.ph <http://sub2.exampledomain.ph>; sub3.exampledomain.ph <http://sub3.exampledomain.ph>; I want to use BIND together with my Apache virtual hosting in one single FreeBSD machine. These are my questions: 1) Is it correct that I only need to register or pay for the main domain? 2) Is it correct that through my local DNS server, I can add sub hosts (sub= 1 to sub3) without anymore registering those sub domains and pay for them in my main domain provider? 3) Provided that I already have successfully setup my local DNS server, Apache virtual hosting and main domain activated, is it straightforward tha= t I can already access the sub domains (i.e., websites) from the Internet? 4) Do I need to register sub1, sub2 and sub3 in any external domain provider? 5) Can you provide some sample configs if you are already doing this setup? Thank you in advance! - Misoy
