My apologies to you, Ben, as well as to Roger, Steve, Edward, Stuart, Rodolfo and anyone else I've neglected to thank for his/her advice on my issue. I certainly intend to scrutinize all your latest replies, but my "real" job and my family life haven't left me with much of a chance to deal with this issue for quite a while. I was able to do one thing, however, and that was something you had suggested, Ben. You had said: > >From the sounds of it, right now you just want to host the > website and > >the > mail server. I agree that this is enough right now and you > do not want to handle DNS on your machine.

IN A 24.24.15.155 > > 24.24.15.155 IN PTR mccorduck.ws. > > www.mccorduck.ws. IN CNAME mccorduck.ws. > > @ IN MX mccorduck.ws. I sent an e-mail to WorldSite.ws' support giving them this exact information, and this what they said in reply: "We are not a hosting company, so we cannot put those entries onto our servers. Those updates can only be made on the server where mccorduck.ws is located." O.K., so is it really possible for me to do all those things on my own machine? If so, which file(s) does all the info. go into, what commands will I need, etc.? I'd be grateful for further help from you, and thanks so much for the ton of help you've given me already.
