Thanks Mark. I have signed up with www.dnseasy.com so they can take care of the DNS stuff. Looks like I will be able to set up shop with just my one IP. Thanks again.

>I think you'll be able to get away with just one IP address. You can run a DNS server along with email, ftp & web, all on the same PC hardware, accessible at the one IP address.

>When you install the server software (on whichever o/s you choose) the individual services should all set themselves up on the correct default TCP/IP ports (Web server = port 80, ftp server = port 21, eMail = 25/110, dns = 53, etc.) Under Windows, the file \systemroot\Winnt\System32\Drivers\Etc\Services lists all the default port assignments.

>DNS might be a little awkward though. How would you get your domains registered? You need to provide references to two DNS Servers when registering a domain, and I'm pretty sure that you can't run two DNS services on 1 IP address.

>I have a server co-located with a hosting company. I do run DNS on the server, but my registrations are carried out by my hosting company and they name their DNS Servers for the registrations. I make all DNS changes on my server, which then broadcasts the changes to the DNS servers belonging to the hosting company.
