[afnog] Domain registration and web hosting

[Eddy Kayihura M.]

Dear Noa,

Here are some questions that could guide in answering you:

- What platforms are you using (OS :Linux, Microsoft)
- What DNS software is installed on them?
- Do that customer have at least 1 permanent IP address?

In our network we have some DNS servers with zone files.
For a customer who has taken care of his domain registration, we just 
ask them to point their domains from their registrar to our DNS servers 
and then in the zone files on our servers, we point whatever they ask 
towards their IP.
Since they generally have a single IP, they sometimes do port forwarding 
on their firewall to forward some port traffic towards machines with 
internal (private) IP addresses eg: port 25 or 80

regards

Eddy
