If for whatever reason you stay with them, you should have a discussion with them to clarify whether they are running both primary and secondary DNS servers on the same box. The purpose of having two (or more) is if one goes down, the other will pick up the slack - it seems that "phage" going down took out both in this case, although it may just have been a coincidence. |

That's certainly a cheap and cheerful option for non-critical websites, but do be sure your ISP actually allows you to host a website first. Many ISPs specifically don't allow their customers to host websites or email, so check the fineprint :) |

| 764181 | 2009-04-14 13:53:00 | Pretty much *all* ISP's don't allow it, just like the fine print of most of them actually includes hosting Games on things like your Xbox ... They couldn't care less if you do though, its more to stop people complaining when their IP changes. |

| 764182 | 2009-04-14 14:19:00 | They couldn't care less if you do though, its more to stop people complaining when their IP changes.Perhaps, but if your site became too popular or began to attract the wrong kind of attention I'll bet they'd be pretty quick to start caring. Such is always the way of the T&C blind eye - it's just something to be aware of at the very least. If you're going to do it, just know that you may be breaking the terms of your contract and all that potentially entails. I've always wanted to host a site on a box at home, but I think I share the same syndrome as the builder who never finishes his own deck... by the time I'm finished with work, the last thing I want to do is deal with my own web hosting :D |

Telstra host my Domain name so its quite easy - the site is currently working from my IP, but FAR from finished - once finished I simply contact Telstra as below and they change the settings and its away. Being on Telstra Cable you automatically have a static IP- so it doesn't change. Part of the reply from Telstra - the rest was just explaining what settings: Thank you for contacting us, yes it is possible for you to host your own website on you Cable highspeed internet connection. All we need to do is change the @ and www records for your domain to point to your static IP address. |
