How to set up DNS for your Linode using ZoneEdit
by Craig Spurrier of Craigweb
Step One
Goto ZoneEdit.com and sign up for Zoneedit's free service
Zone Edit http://www.zoneedit.com/
Direct link https://www.zoneedit.com/signup.html
Step Two
After you have created an account you will receive an e-mail with your username and password once you have received this go to https://www.zoneedit.com/auth/ and login.
Step Three
Click "Add New Zone"
Step Four
Enter your domain name and click "Add Zone"
Step Five
Go to your domain registers site and change the name server records to
Nameserver 1: ns12.zoneedit.com (64.246.26.64)
Nameserver 2: ns14.zoneedit.com (209.126.159.80)
Step Six
Go to https://www.zoneedit.com/auth/ and login.
Step Seven
You may be asked "What zone do you wish to edit?" select your domain name.
Step Eight
Click "IP Address"
Enter your Linode's IP Address in the "Numeric IP" field
Click "Add New IP Address"
Step Nine
You will be asked
"Are you sure you would like to add the following IP Addresses?
Both "yourdoman.com" and "www.yourdoman.com" will have the IP x.x.x.x."
Click "Yes"
Step Ten
Click "MailForward"
Delete any entries.
Step Eleven
Click "Mail Servers (MX)"
Enter mail.yourdoman.com in the first box and yourdomain.com in the other box
Click "Add New Mail Server"
Step Twelve
Wait 48-72 Hours
DNS is now set up to point to your server you are now ready to start setting up Apache, Mail, etc.[/b] |

replace all those http:// links with https://
For reasons beyond me, ZoneEdit doesn't tell their subscribers that their services work 100% with HTTPS.
Using HTTPS helps your privacy and keeps the terrorists at bay!

Note that ZoneEdit's free service is limited to 5 domain, if you have more domains you can pay or you can sign up to other services such as EveryDNS.net (http://www.everydns.net).
But note that EveryDNS.net doesn't provide SSL, so everything you do is unencrypted.
If you need more (for resiliency, etc), there are more at:

Nah,
The best DNS is on your own Linode!
I will post a tutorial on how to setup BIND soon.
The second best is http://freedns.afraid.org |

| I prefer to use zoneedit simply to preserve memory on my linode. It's insane to use memory for bind when ZoneEdit does exactly what you need for free. |

|

can someone please show a how-to step by step guide for configuring bind on a linode as master DNS server and if this bind crashes there will be a zoneedit backup dns server.
Thanks |

The message in the excellent tutorial post to this topic ends with the above.
Ill repeat it here: DNS is now set up to point to your server you are now ready to start setting up Apache, Mail, etc.[/b]
Is there a tutorial for this step by any chance?! |

I am working on a Ubuntu Tutorial, here is the rough draft
mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
cd /etc/apt/
wget http://craigweb.net/downloads/server/sources.list
hostname yourdomainhere
apt-get update
apt-get install joe lynx
apt-get dist-upgrade
mv /lib/tls /lib/tls-disabled
hostname yourdomainhere
apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl perl perl-modules
apt-get install webmin webmin-core
lynx https://localhost:10000
(enable acess from other ips)
apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php4 php4 mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php4-mysql mysql-common mysql-client libmysqlclient12 postfix postfix-mysql postfix-tls courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-ssl courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql amavisd-new libclamav1 spamassassin pyzor spamc libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl-modules-plain libsasl2-modules-sql libsasl7 libauthen-sasl-perl libauthen-sasl-cyrus-perl apache2 apache2-common apache2-utils libapache2-mod-auth-plain php4-common php4-mysql php4-universe-common clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam webalizer webmin-webalizer webmin-apache webmin-postfix
apt-get install clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam
(yes, you should run this line twice)
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
joe /etc/hostname
set hotname.sh to start on boot
For the rest of the mail setup use http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ |
