Nameservers?

    I have had a home webserver running for a few months now using some DynDNS free names for my address. I decided to take the next step and register a .com name and did so using GoDaddy. Initially I put the name into their "parking" service but I am ready to have it point to my website. I am having some difficulties grasping the nameserver part of this procedure.

    Where should I be pointing my .com address? Should it go through the DYNDNS names, should I just enter my numeric IP address? Can I make a nameserver myself? Also, I have a couple of little sites that I like to keep seperate (one is my resumé site, one is my wife's site, one is my football pool statistics, etc). Is it better to have them all as seperate "sites" or virtual directories and does this make a difference to the nameserver issue?

    Any help/tips are appreciated.

    you won't need the DDNS service for that domain anymore. Just point the DNS to your IP address for that domain and add a host header for that site in your sites configuration.

    Cool, thank-you. This is quite an exciting little journey. I suppose if my IP changes I will have to manually change it at GoDaddy, but so far my IP has not changed except when I moved, so it should be no big deal.
