[ubuntu-in] Hosting sites on ubuntu

If the domain registrar doesn't allow to add CNAME records (as it was
in my case), then you need to get an account with some free DNS
service provider like freedns.afraid.org . In the Domain registrars
control panel, you need to change the nameserver responsible for your
domain to those of freedns'. It can take upto 48hrs for the change to
be reflected globally. So wait for that period. You can check by doing
a whois lookup for your domain. After the change has taken place, you
can add required DNS entries in Freedns' control panel. Freedns allows
upto 20 records including mx records for mailservers, A records, txt
records, CNAME, URL forwarding. Hopefully your domain registrar is
better than mine, so that all these extra hassles are not required.
