I'd like to set up my own webserver with Apache and features like MySQL, PHP, CGI, and others. However, I don't know what to post as a nameserver.

I own a domain name (.com), and I have the capabilities here to run my own webserver with good results. Unfortunately I do not know what I would do to register my IP address as nameservers for my domain to host.

Hi Eldamus, and welcome to WebmasterWorld.

You need 2 different nameservers being in 2 different networks.
You could set up and host the primary nameserver right on your own webserver and look for another secondary name server elsewhere. Perhaps your hosting company is offering one. Otherwise, google for "secondary nameserver service" or the like.
Personally, for some of my domains, I use xname.org as secondary, which is free and works fine.

HTH and regards,
R.

Go to 123cheapdomains you can post your IP their. Who is your ISP and do you have a static IP address.

Hi and welcome to the Webmaster World boards.You can register the name at various registrars and resellers.

Once the name is registered you can "park" it on a name server, usually provided by the registrar. There should be no extra charges for parking.

Once parked, you should have access to the ZONE files to point it to your webserver.
