Useing a godaddy domain name on home server..

I have recently set up a DYNDNS http server on windows xp, everything works..

my question is that I have a domain I bought on Godaddy and would like to use that instead of the one DYNDNS gave me, how would i go about setting this up? I called Godaddy tech support and they were not much help at all..

I just want to simplify my domain name, and use the one im paying 9$ a year for.. thanks!

 

nice one.

you might be able to configure your dns so when people access www.domainyouwanttouse.com itll resolve to the ip you got from godaddy or the other way around.

just a suggestion

 

From what i understand is that it calls on a nameserver of where the site is hosted, like say currently my domain name is godaddy but hosted by hostmonster, so i had to change the nameserver to hostmonsters.. humm.. maybe if i change my name server to my dyndns address?

 

Nevermind I got it.. I called Godaddy again and got an awesome dude who knew exactly what he was talking about. :-D if anyone else wants to know or cares how it is done please reply and I will explain..

 

I'd be interested to see how he explained the process... And I'd like to see if I'm right in what I believe would have been the proper steps.

Pretty much configured my router to the godaddy domain on my IP, instead of the dyndns domain. I tried t forward it as a backup to the dyndns in case my IP changed but it seems to be static so far. Godaddy has a MX something prompt at the control panel where you set it to goto your IP (dyndns / word names will not work), then you have to config all your servers (http, irc, ftp, telnet, ect..) all to the new domain you bought from godaddy, i also recommend the pricy feature which is like 9$ a year

If there are things i can do to make it more secure plz let me know, i am useing synchronet, thanks!
