That's the correct IP address and I just called up the ISP and they say that they aren't restricting any ports whatsoever
http://www.intodns.com/speakgeek.co.cc tells me "Can't get nameservers at parent server!<br>I only check domains not subdomains!" Maybe the problem is that speakgeek.co.cc is a subdomain, which means you cannot create a zone for it.
Well I was using co.cc domain for testing purposes, does that mean that all co.cc domains behave like sub-domains? My main domain of the server is a co.cc domain too, should I get a commercial domain for this project? For the speakgeek.co.cc domain I have just added NS records in the domain control panel, and in ISP Config I used the DNS wizard. Is that I valid config? I have an off question, when I setup a single server, does it have to be assigned as hostname.domain name or has it to be just domain name? My current setup is hostname.domain name I mean I don't really have many computers on that domain, its just that one server. And if I have a multi-server setup will the main server just have the domain name and the other servers join that domain to have hostnames?
That seems to be the case. Yes. Yes - for regular domains. I recommend to use hostname.domain. If you just use domain and use a virtual Postfix setup, you might have problems receiving emails for domain. Yes, the other servers can join the domain (server2.domain, server3.domain, etc.).
In process of doing a new install with a commercial domain will get back if I have any issues. Really appreciate all your help here.
Okay I have use awft.org in GoDaddy (where I purchased the domain from) and added the ns details to the hosts. I have 2 questions: 1)The domain has default ns records which point to the godaddy nameservers. Should I replace them with these new records or let them point to go daddy's nameservers ?

Oh! that question was because I was not sure what entries I had to keep on the GoDaddy domain, so what I meant was if I have added ns1 and ns2 to the host's summary then do I need to keep godaddy's nameserver records. I am just not sure what records to keep. I have pm'ed you with all the details of my server yesterday.
