I'm answering this with a separate response because it goes off in a different direction. You can decide which way to go without mixing up all the information together.

It'll usually be done where you register your domain name. Though you can shift it elsewhere. You can renew a domain name and host it with a different company. You can have a company host your website, and they can also host your DNS records. For what it's worth, if they do your mail and website through something like cpanel, they'll probably want to host your DNS records, too, so their cpanel software can control any changes the DNS records. You can run your own slave name server, that follows what the public one does. This can be handy, but not essential, to keep an eye out for anything that goes wrong. If you want to run dynamic DNS, so you can log into your home computer from somewhere else on the net without having to know your IP, that's a different thing, again. But, if you want to be your DNS server for the whole world, they have to be able to connect to you. Traffic has to be able to get through. And you will need a fixed IP. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
