Setup Domain Name on Server 2003


Recommended Posts

What do you mean if im hosting the domain. I want to setup everything on my own computer, i just registered it at GoDaddy.com.

I have all the .aspx files in a virutal directory that i have setup in IIS 6. I just cant get 123456.com to go to that virtual directory. Im not hosting any files on GoDaddy.com.

My bad, thought Godaddy was hosting the domain and you were just having www forwarded over to your IP. Here is what you need to do. You need to set up your NS servers to point to your IP. Then you need to create DNS zones in Windows Server and create the correct records, one of them being www. Have it point to your IP address. If your hosting email as well, make sure you set up MX records.

No... you need to install DNS and configure it first BEFORE you install AD. AD will not install and configure itself before DNS is properly setup. You don't need AD to run DNS or IIS 6!

Check out Server Roles on Win Server 2003...

On Win Server 2003 Web Edition, DNS is the only other major application you are allowed to run on the box besides IIS 6. AD won't install on the Web Edition...

I thank you for the effort, but nobody was right.

To accomplish this you need to install and configure Active Directory. Then you need to setup DNS, which configures your nameservers, then you enter those at GoDaddy.

rofl...do you really think AD is required for IIS??? Please. DNS does not need AD, and IIS does not need AD. So how does AD come into play here?

i am searching around on this topic aswell, but how does it go with Bandwith? if you host everything yourself,

like uhm hostcompany 1

1000mb hosting space

50gb bandwith transfer

if you host it yourself is the bandwith cache that it writes to your harddisk or ?

didnt want to start an entire new topic on this, and its basicly in the same street right ? :)

    • I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
    • Well that's the weird thing, the UK really isn't a very religious country at all and the same politicians that are backing this (basically all of them) also support things like assisted dying which various religions spoke out against. I don't think this is coming from religion, of course religious groups will support it but I don't think they've started it.
    • No.  The only thing you'll be able to capture with that is via antenna (your local NBC, CBS, etc) or if you had a regular cable box you could capture ClearQAM channels (if they are still a thing...probably not though).  Everything else will have encryption which those capture cards aren't meant for.   So yeah...you'll need Verizon's DVR (sucks if you have to pay for it).
    • I've gotta say Microsoft has lost the plot a long, long, long time ago.
    • How is it be technically implemented, I mean if you wanted to include this let's say on this website, at what point do you interrupt the user flow and say yo! Show me your ID or get the hell out? Please go into extreme technical detail. Is it using a third-party, how much information does neowin receive from that third-party, at what point would that information be abused? We all know it would be abused. So hypothetically what would neowin receive from that third-party company?
