How to add a domain in linux

Hi,

Can you tell me how to add a domain in linux.

This depends on the context of what the new domain is for. There are many things you might be thinking of for your question.

1. Add a domain you can find locally as you use this linux system to access others.
2. Add an IP address for a new hostname in another domain.
3. Add a new domain to a DNS server hosted on this linux system.
4. Add a new domain to a webserver (e.g. apache or lightttpd or others) hosted on this linux system.

If you can explain more about what you are doing, I think you can get (better) answers.

If you are referring to the webserver then here's some detailed explanation:

I am confused by your question.
In my experience: Networks have domains, databases have domains, some games have domains, operating systems have no domains (except as pertains to the network settings, recognizing the domain of the network).

Can you illuminate the issue a bit?

Without intending to offend, but are you aware of the phrase "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Better questions will lead to better answers.
