Sub domain creation on the fly with DNS Bind

Using Cpanel/Whm - I had to set up bind to accept any subdomain. In the /var/named folder there are a bunch of *.db files. Find the appropriate file for your domain. Set it up to look something like this: $TTL 14400 @ 86400 IN SOA ns1.yourdomain.com. email.domain.com. ( 2006090901 ; serial, todays date+todays 86400 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 3600000 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds yourdomain.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com. yourdomain.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.yourdomai... read more!

We All Use Linux - Whether We Like It or Not

I remember the first time someone told me I could download a "free" operating system. They told me I didn't need to pay for Microsoft Windows. The excitement was unreal. No more license fees for MS Windows, and the operating environment was just about the same (with an added GUI), faster and more stable.So I asked - 'How can this be free?'.The response over 10 years ago still rings sweetly to my ears - 'oh it's open source'.  Your probably know that open source software is software produced... read more!

Beware of the .COM Domain Price Increase

I Oppose ICANN-VeriSign Agreement The Agreement basically says that Verisign will may take control of the .COM registry and with that power, also has in its plans to increase the cost of .com domains 7%. There are some proponents of the agreement, but many greatly oppose it including GoDaddy - one of the largest registrars of .com domains. I personally don't agree as a percentage of our business revenue deals with selling .com domains as well as publishing various ad networks advertisemen... read more!
