How To Get Your Own Domain - Linux


Whether or not you use static or dynamic DNS, you need to register a domain.

Dynamic DNS providers frequently offer you a subdomain of their own site, such as my-site.dnsprovider.com, in which you register your domain on their site.

If you choose to create your very own domain, such as my-site.com, you have to register with a company specializing in static DNS registration and then point your registration record to the intended authoritative DNS for your domain. Popular domain registrars include VeriSign, Register Free, and Yahoo.

If you want to use a dynamic DNS provider for your own domain, then you have to point your registration record to the DNS servers of your dynamic DNS provider. (More details on domain registration are coming later in the chapter.).
