My brother asked my help to set up private web hosting server with a domain name. He want to have full control on the server instead of rent a web space.

Every domain name need a DNS server of the Web Hosting. In this case, my brother do not have a fix ip line so have to use dynamic IP address.

Set Up Dynamic IP Hosting

To set up private hosting with dynamic IP, DynDNS service is the easiest way. After register a free account, you’ll need to buy 2 products/services: Domain Name (.com,.org,.net) and Custom DNS.

Its domain name more expensive than others, $15 USD for one. The Custom DNS is far expensive than domain name, $27.5 for a year. Anyway, we got $5 USD discount and pay off total of $37.5 USD. However, there are other hosting providers that offer free domain names as part of their package.

For long term, it is cheaper but make sure you have backup plan on Data, Internet Connection, and Server. (more…)

I am planning to open another blog in different niche. What is that niche? Of course cannot tell you! This is my secret at this moment. You will know when the time comes. To open a new blog, I would say preparation is the hardest time for me. Especially want to choose a good domain name is not an easy job nowadays. Most of the easy to remember and SEO friendly domain name has been registered to resell.

Yet, still we have methods to choose a good domain name for your website or blog. Before we go for methods that help you choose a good domain name, you must know the existing common domain name extensions:

.com (commercial business domain)
.net (commercial network)
.org (nonprofit organizations)
.edu (educational institution)
.gov (government agency)
.mil (military) .biz
.bz
.info
.tv
.name

First, choose the domain name extension that suits the best for your website or blog’s purpose. Normally, we choose from the first 3 extensions, .com, .net or .org. Of course other extension like .edu might suit for your education organization website or .tv suit for your video broadcast website. Other than the list above, there are more extensions like .cn, .cc and etc. As for normal usage, I would recommend the first 3 extensions. (more…)
