Stooney Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have my domains through 1and1.com. Right now they point to the web space 1and1 provides with my package. If I wanted one of my domains to point to my home server, do I just change the IP Address option in the domains DNS settings to my home servers IP? Do I need my own DNS server? I read about how DNS works and what it does but I'm still fairly lost as to how to work with it. EDIT: I forgot I was reading critique forums when i posted, a mod mind moving it to misc? sorry Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122279-dns-confused/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Mate, you are completely in the wrong board! What does it have do to with website critiques? Do you even bother reading the board's titles and/or description?

Fadion Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I wasn't quick and I wasn't accusing. I was being subjective. Nothing personal though, it just bothers seeing a lot of people asking questions in completely not-related boards. Cheers.

Stooney Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yea no big, first time I've made this mistake in a long time. DNS is confusing either way Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/122279-dns-confused/#findComment-631465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You will need for the nameserver at which the DNS records point to tell the client to go to your IP address.
