How to set up a web server at home using DSL connection?

Question

I have a LINUX server setup at home. The upstream of my DSL bandwidth is about 150kbps. I want to setup a web server at home. But sometimes the IP address is changing. How can we resolve this problem?

Answer 1

It will be slow and agonizing, the slow upstream. There are dynamic dns services you can subscribe to. I know they have them for windows os, so they might have a linux one too. However how it works is you pay like $20 a year and install their utility on your webserver. So the utility on your server will send an update like every hour to their dns server. It will update their dns to your new IP and your domain will continue to feed people to the right place.

Hey pal,



There no way to do this, you should check the possibility to have a static IP address with your service provider.

After that you can use APACHEE or any other webserver application to do that.



Ciao,
