Setting up a domain server?
t1rhino
Toronto
Okay, since it only costs $12.95 to register a domain name now in Canada, I was thinking of registering one for myself.
Example, www.t1rhino.com
Since I have an always on cable internet, can I host www.t1rhino.com on my cable internet? Would I just register the domain with my IP address?
Also, it says that 2 DNS servers of my ISP are required? Why, and would I have to register my domain name with my ISP?
Thanks,

They probably need DNS IPs to add an entry to those servers for that domain. Since they're hosting the server, it seems logical to add the DNS entries there. Those DNS servers should in turn update the other DNS servers, etc., etc. That's probably why they ask for two, so it updates in a more effecient manner.
I have the DNS servers IPs, but I guess they would not be happy with a domain pointing to my IP.
I have used no-ip.com, but was looking for something a little cleaner.
A little cleaner, and free for 3 years...
