Please help me ...

Hello,

I am new and I really want to do this myself. There are some things I do not understand ...

1. Can I do this just with my pc running suse 10.2 ? I got a internet connection and I am behind a firewall. So my ethernet card has the ip 192.168.1.2 and the firewall 192.168.1.1. It has statis internet ip ( example 123.123.123.123 ). I understood that I can run the named and dns server on my linux so I don't have to pay any more ( i mean just the internet connection)

2. Can I find somewhere a good tutorial in doing this ? I tryed google but no results.

Thank you very much for your help

 

done ...

I did all that . everything is installed ... but the problem is that I don't want to pay for nameservers or dns or domains ... this is what I do not know ... how to make my pc act like that ... I don't have a domain name and I just want to assign one for my pc for the begining ... without paying no more than my ISP . Can you help me with that ? please

 

so ...

So, this means that I can't get to do what I want for free How do web hosting and domain registration companys do it ? I still think that I can do this ...

 

1) Buy a domain name (.com is arroun $8 US per year, a .info arround $5 US)
2) setup ISPconfig
3) create a website, and upload it to ISPconfig
4) Done.

 

hmmm

The question is ... if I buy that ... why would I install ISPconfig ? Wouldn't it be enough my linux box with apache, php, mysql and the others ? The thing is that I do not want to buy anything ( and I mean a domain name ), I want to host my own, something like a small web hosting company for me and 3 friends ... Isn't that possible ?

 

ISPconfig is a free tool that will configure (and controll) all the needed things to host a domain in one go.

You do not need ISPconfig, but than you will need to configure everything yourself (like Apache, DNS, Postfix, a FTP server.....)

 

oh ...

I understand now ...

What about the other question ... do you know how I could open my own web hosting company ? For the begining just few clients ... what do I need and where could I find a tutorial about this ...

Thanx a lot

Now my ideas are really messed up ...

So what more than a pc, linux and a good internet connection do I need ? Because now I really don't understand this things !!!

Could you please be more specific ?

So i did this steps :

1. installed suse 10.2 like described in the perfect setup
2. installed ispconfig

what else do i need ?

please

 

thank you
