How do i set up a fully featured small business network?
- by JoshReedSchramm
This has the possibility to be a very large question but I recently acquired a few rack mount servers and the hardware necessary to run them. Unfortunately I'm a programmer with very little understanding of how to set up a good working network so I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help.
What I want to do is run a domain with a series of subdomains which would all be externally accessible. The setup would live inside my home and my internet connection is your run of the mill cable model (which means a dynamic IP)
I want to be able to set up a couple site, specifically:
www.mycompany.com (mycompany.com with no subdomain would redirect to this)
build.mycompany.com (for my continuous integration server)
ruby.mycompany.com (for ruby projects)
win.mycompany.com (for windows project)
etc.
Additionally this is still my home network so our personal machines need to be able to get on via wifi with at least the same security we have now through an out of the box router from best buy.
I'm thinking i need a DNS server, DHCP server and one of those would run either no-ip or dyndns to accommodate the dynamic ip.
I don't necessarily need mail but it might be helpful to have some sort of mail server i could use for testing, it doesn't need to get out to the greater internet though.
So how do i set up this kinda of network?
tl;dr Need to know how to set up your standard office style network in my home off my normal consumer level cable modem connection.
