[ubuntu-in] Hosting sites on ubuntu

[Sambit Bikas Pal]

You have to get a free account from a Dynamic DNS service provider
like www.dyndns.com .You will get a hostname like example.selfip.com
or example.homeip.net, etc. Next you need to install an update client
- there is one called ddclient in the ubuntu repo. It checks your
external IP and updates DynDNS' records so that example.selfip.com
always resolves to your IP address. Now in the control panel for your
domain, you have to add a CNAME record. Suppose you have registered
the domain example.com. Then you need to CNAME  www.example.com to
example.selfip.com. The purpose of CNAME record is, that
www.example.com will now resolve to the IP address of
example.selfip.com ,i.e. your IP.
