How to register a nameserver on 1&1
February 5, 2010 ၳ 1:51 pmThis is from their FAQ: What is a glue domain? If your name server is in the same zone as your domain it is called a Glue Domain. A glue record is an A record that specifies the address of the server. For example, if the name server (DNS) for domain-of-your-choice.com was ns.domain-of-your-choice.com then the NS record would look like this, but you will also need to have the following A record. domain-of-your-choice.com IN NS ns.domain-of-your-choice.com ns.domain-of-your-choice.com IN A 217.160.226.82 To do this, please create a subdomain "ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" and assign an IP Address to it. Once the IP Address has propagated you can assign "ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" as the DNS for your domain "domain-of-your-choice.com". 1. Log in to https://admin.1and1.com with your customerID and password 2. In the control panel, click on "DOMAINS" or "MANAGE DOMAINS" (you will get a table with your domains) 3.

What’s the Difference between Domain Name Registration & Name Server Registration?
February 5, 2010 ၳ 1:47 pmDomain names really just represent addresses. When you type in a domain name, your computer contacts special directory computers called domain name servers to find out the address for the domain you want to visit. It knows what computers to contact for your address because you indicate this when you register your domain name (e.g. setting nameservers to ns1.mediacatch.com would tell it that ns1.mediacatch.com is a computer that knows the address of your domain). Once your computer gets the address for the domain you are interested in, then it can contact the computer with that address to display the website, etc. The catch with the above is that the nameservers you list with your domain, i.e. ns1.mediacatch.com in the above example, are also just names that represent addresses. So there has to be a directory computer that knows the address of ns1.mediacatch.com too. So when your domain name points to ns1.mediacatch.com ...

Never Miss Out Good Documentation For Open Source Projects
November 16, 2009 ၳ 1:57 pmThis are the three main key points in order to create a good documentation for Open Source projects: Tutorials — Tutorials are a great way to introduce users to your software and demonstrate high-level concepts in real world examples. Too many tutorials teach you little more than how to create a “hello world” script. Good tutorials should help your users actually build something, which is much more exciting for a new user than printing out a line or two of text. As Kaplan-Moss says “that rush of success as you work through a good tutorial will likely color your future opinions about the project.” Tutorials are the best way to make a great first impression on your potential converts. Topical Guides — This is the real meat of good documentation and will be what users return to over and over again as they learn how to use your software. Kaplan-Moss’ advice is ...
