Upload and Download and static IP is very expensive in my country GREENLAND. Since I'm new to Mac mini Server, I would like to start with low budget.
I have and own handful of websites around the world, and I would like to link to my own server. Can someone out there help a remote living Mac fanboy. Actually Santa Claus is living in my backyard ;-)
Thanx for quick reply and a nice link. And lot of "Ho ho ho" from Santa for good service ;-)
Accordingly, however I still have some question:
Domain name:
... For a domain you need an A record ...
What do you mean with "A record"? I do own some domain names from www.one.com but they don't confirm anything that could relate to an "A record"
Later: For sending a receiving mail ... MX records:
prio domail ip-address ...
Neither those informations are given from my ISP
How should I poke with those data in my own server?
PS:
It might just be me, however you are welcome to add something "xxx" when you quote or refer to a certain text or sign.
Actual example is in your text: The wildcard will ... like www or test and it will ...
As I understand it, I will put " " signs in "www" and maybe in the "test"? Am I right?
The mostly used A type translates a host/domain name into an ip address.
An MX record is a pointer to the mailserver of the specified domain.
Your ISP should give you your ip-address, you should link the domain name to the ip yourself (the A record) with one of the Dynamic DNS providers. There you could also specify your MX record.
You can poke this data set on your mac via the commandline:
dig recordtype domainname
like:
dig A diymacserver.com (will return my ip address)
dig MX diymacserver.com (will return pointers to my mailservers)

Hi Torrak, low budget is the purpose of this site. Getting your Mac running server components without paying for the server license.
You can use any dynamic DNS provider you want, you need to use DNSupdate to send a new ip-address to your DNS provider. Read more here: http://diymacserver.com/preparation/what-you-need/
Give my regards to santa!

DNS is a sort of address book with the only differnce that you can have multiple types of addresses (the record types). Here is a list of possible types:
