Hello. I'm trying to setup a completely "self-sufficient" server at home. I've completed howtoforge's excellent Gentoo server guide, and I would now like to set up my own nameserver so that all of ISPConfig's features work. I would like to know what I have to buy to get it working as cheap as possible, and some general instructions on how to set it up. I currently have just the gentoo server, one dynamic IP, and one domain name. I would prefer to spend less than $10/month or $60/year total. My ISP does not offer static IPs for home customers, so that's not an option. I could probably use a windows computer(with cygwin or a livecd) with a different IP for a very limited amount of time, but I'd rather not. Thanks a lot!
It's a bad idea to run a nameserver on a dynamic IP address. You could get a hostname from dyndns.org for your server, but still that's not optimal. If you still want to do it, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund
