Hello Gurus,

For one of my friend needed to setup a mailserver, he is having a static public IP x.x.x.x without DNS recards, no name resolution, is it possible to create mailserver which is access around the globe..


Any help is Appreciated..
Thanks

Certainly, but each domain must have at least two name servers that can resolve names within these domains (for redundancy). Each of the DNS servers must have a static, public IP.

Unless you have some specific need to run your own, it might be better just to use hosted DNS. Many domain registrars run their own name servers that can be used by clients. I also remember zoneedit bweing reasonable back in the day.

It is also popssible to run your own mail server with just a static IP, but I expect such a server to wind up on spam blacklists if there's no DNS name pointint to it. Also, it would be rather inconvenient to have to tell people to send e-mail to user@ip.address.of.server rather than user@some.tld.

they have started a small new firm, they are not afford to pay every month bill for DNS service, is there any free of cost DNS service providers,..

Thanks & Regards

Most domain registries will offer either free or low-cost DNS service.

If your current registrar doesn't then spend the $10 and move your domain to one that does.

DNS services are CHEAP, for example, I resell GoDaddy premium DNS for $2.99 a month.

Edit:Just to be transparent, you can also order premium DNS direct from GD for cheaper if you pay for a year: http://www.godaddy.com/domains/dns-hosting.aspx
