Hey,

I'm giving my first steps in dedicated servers and I need some help.

Mine is completely unmanaged, comes just with Operating System.

My issue is to link the domain to one of the dedicated IP that I have on the server.

I've already installed the latest versions of apache, mysql and php. They're all up and fine, running smoothly. No issues there.

I've also installed webmin, just in case (:

So, since I cannot add hosts directly at the domain registrar that I used, I created a free account at DynDNS and setup two hostnames, one for each dedicated ip that i have.

Then i used those two hostnames as my nameservers, to the domain. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it =X

Then I added this to the apache config file, for my domain of course:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.domain.tld
ServerAlias domain.tld *.domain.tld
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>

What else do I have to do? I'm kinda lost.. If I use the domain now, it says the server can't be found.
I don't want to access the webpage only by using the server's ip.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
 
set you ns server on your domain first and
in webadmin you need to wait a little bit for reflect
 
And how do I get a ns?
Isn't that what DynDNS does, too? I mean, I can choose between one of the two, right?
 
To set a domain go to domain provider, and create ns1 and ns2 from 1 IP, or 2 if they were provided, if you need personal help add me on msn [email protected]
 
Got it yesterday (:
The domain provider i'm using for this doesn't allow me to do that, unfortunately.

I'm using a free dns service. Will try to fix my own service.

Thanks
