[NBLUG/talk] Home Linux Server

[Nat W.]

Yes it is mydomain.com

I have been digging through my settings though, and it seems they aren't
handling much for me, besides who I bought the domain through. The name
servers are at my web host, and I have figured out how to set it up.

Basically, I believe I am going to use a dynamic dns service (zoneedit or
dyndns both seem to have good service) and then point my subdomain at that
url.

Thanks a lot for the help guys! (now I just gotta implement it :P)

I assume nydomain is a typo and you mean mydomain.com.  I used them a
few years back, and they sucked.  They were not reliable.  Niether their
email servers nor their DNS.  I have most of my domains at godaddy.com
now, but there are other good places like namecheap.com, or gandi.net.

You can use any subdomain you can think of.  ssh.natwelch.com is fine,
so is porkrinds.natwelch.com.

You just setup the dns for that subdomain to point to the IP address.
http:// is for a web address (http protocol), it's not used for ssh.
