I have a friend who bought a domain name a while back and I want to host the website on my FreeBSD box. Now how do I go about doing this? I have read about and believe that I understand the DNS but I still would like to know just how I am supposed to get the NetSolutions domain name that he bought to point to my server? I know this may seem like a really general question but any time I write the NetSolutions people they send me a pre-formatted listing of things to do that looks like someone just cut and pasted it and then sent that to me......I just need to know what I need to have up and running on my machine and what I need to do with NetSolutions.......any references, webpages, or personal replies are welcome!
