    Maybe this is a beginner mistake, but I created a client, and a site www.gtsentertainmentonline.com and added webmail.gtsentertainmentonline.com as a co-domain. My problem is I type in the site, and I get my ISPs search page which is road runner. I used the perfect debian etch setup. Forgive me for I am new to linux. Let me also explain what I am trying to do. I want to host my own site, and also have a 3 email accounts users. Have been trying for a week to figure it out but now I am at a end.

    Please make sure that the A record for www.gtsentertainmentonline.com is pointing to your server. You can check that like this:
    Code:
    dig www.gtsentertainmentonline.com

    Yes, it must point to your router's external IP address, and your router must then forward the requests to the server.

    You can find out the responsible name servers for your domain like this:

    Code:
    dig ns gtsentertainmentonline.com
    These are the name servers where the A record must be created/modified.
