I want to learn how to configure my home PC server into a web server with domain and host.

My IP is 109.99.141.133 and now points to a phpinfo page host on my home server. My registed domain is: anunta-anunturi.ro

I searched for a tutorial and I've read that I have to configure /etc/named.conf and the file sources for the new zone that I create.

So, from the tutorials, my /etc/named.conf looks like this:

 //
// named.conf
//
// Provided by Red Hat bind package to configure the ISC BIND named(8) DNS
// server as a caching only nameserver (as a localhost DNS resolver only).
//
// See /usr/share/doc/bind*/sample/ for example named configuration files.
//

options {
        listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
        listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
        directory       "/var/named";
        dump-file       "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
        allow-query     { localhost; };
        recursion yes;
        dnssec-enable yes;
        dnssec-validation yes;
        dnssec-lookaside auto;
        /* Path to ISC DLV key */
        bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";
        managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};
logging {
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };
};
zone "anunta-anunturi.ro" IN {
        type master;
        file "/etc/anunta-anunturi.db";
};
zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";

My /etc/anunta-anunturi.db file looks like this — I'm not sure if this is okay, or if it's the easy one.

$TTL    86400
anunta-anunturi.ro. IN SOA serveur.anunta-anunturi.ro. root.serveur.anunta-anunturi.ro. (
                                                1997022700 ; Serial
                                                28800      ; Refresh
                                                14400      ; Retry
                                                3600000    ; Expire
                                                86400 )    ; Minumun

        IN              NS              serveur.anunta-anunturi.ro.
        IN              MX      10      mail.anunta-anunturi.ro.

serveur.anunta-anunturi.ro.     IN      A       192.168.1.37
www.anunta-anunturi.ro.         IN      A       192.168.1.37
mail.anunta-anunturi.ro.        IN      A       192.168.1.37

Extra info:

  • At home I receive internet from my ISP through a router. My home PC and server recieve their IP automatically from the router when I start/restart.

  • In my local home network, my server receives the IP 192.168.1.37 from the router.

  • When I enter 109.99.141.133 in my browser, it points to the rooter that forwards port 80 to local IP 192.168.1.37 (my home server)

Questions:

  • Are my two files good?

  • What/where is my nameserver that I need to copy/paste to my top level domain (where I registered my domain: rotld.ro)?
