Tips create domain in Linux

Hi Guys I wanna share about How to create domain in Linux,I got this article from webhost forum, I'm thanks to Mr.Asif and I hope this article is hopeful for us(Newbie)

Let you know in Linux we can creat 2 types of Domains. the first is puerly Linux based(Server and Clients both are using Linux OS) and the Second is Linux based Domain Controller Server is running Linux OS and clients are using Windows OS.


Bellow are the steps:


check samba is installed or not by "#
rpm -q samba"
if not you can install from cd and open "
#vi /etc/samba/smb. conf"
and than set these configurations
==============
SIMPLE SAMBA
==============
Set WorkGroup
Set Directory
add user
set password with # smbpasswd -a khan
============ ========= =====
SAMBA AS DOMAIN CONTROLLER
============ ========= =====
Set domain name
enable netlogon folder + also create it
local master yes
OS level 64
domain master yes
prefer master yes
domain logons yes
wins support yes
Now add machine account
# useradd -M -s /bin/nologin computername$
if it’s not allowing you to create user with $ then create it without $ sign
then edit /ect/passwd and place $ sign in front of your user & it’s directory and save it.
Now Generate machine accunt
# smbpasswd -am computername
Now check log file
#tail -f /etc/samaba/ smbpasswd
Now you will see your computer account with $ sign which is necessary.
create a New user account to allow windows machine to log in to domain.
Let say
# useradd khan
Now set samba password not linux password
#smbpasswd -a khan
password—pakistan
Have fun———>100 % tested and written
===
TIP:After all this remove the $ sign placed in front of user and directory–> /etc/passwd


Ok guys That's all,cheers

Multiple Domain Web Hosting

Thanks to the low cost of domain names and hosting fees it is possible to own several websites without breaking the bank. There are several ways to manage multiple domains so it is important to know what your options are and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

The most basic choice when administering multiple domains is whether or not to do so with the same host. Most hosts offer packages which can be set up to allow several sites on one account, or allow individual sites to be operated under separate accounts.

You may have an existing website and are happy with the services your host provides. If you decide to start a new website using the same host, you will have the reassurance of dealing with a company you are familiar with and trust. You may also get a discount for each additional account you open with the same host. On the other hand, using a new host for a second (or third or fourth) website can allow you to compare the quality of hosting offered by different companies. In addition, separate hosts will provide each of your web sites with a different IP address.

Having different IP addresses can be an important factor if you plan to link the sites together to aid in search engine optimization. Incoming links are an important indicator of the importance of a website, so a site with a lot of incoming links can get a higher position in search engines like Google. If all the links are coming from the same IP address, however, their value may be discounted. Hosting your various sites with different hosting companies guarantees that each site has a different IP address. Individual IP addresses, however, are available as an extra from most web hosts. For a yearly fee each website can have its own unique IP address. This can help with search engine ranking and is also needed if you want to have a secure connection (https) on your site.

If you decide to host all your sites with the same company, there are three basic ways to go. Each site could have its own account; you could sign up for a re-seller account; or you could get a dedicated server account.

As a re-seller you are acting as an agent for the hosting company. You are allocated a certain amount of disk space and bandwidth and you are free to use them as you please. There may be a limit to the number of websites you can host with your re-seller account, but if there is space left over after using this account for your own sites you could earn some extra income by selling accounts to other people. The advantage of a re-seller account is that all the technical details are taken care of by the hosting company. Some will even provide gateways for billing your customers.

A dedicated server account gives you control of all the resources of an entire server. You are free to setup as many websites as you wish and allocate disk space and bandwidth as you see fit. The downside to this type of account is that you are responsible for maintaining the server. This can require a significant level of technical know-how so if you don’t have that knowledge or don’t feel like learning about it, dedicated servers are not for you. You can, of course, go with a managed dedicated server. The downside of this is the higher cost involved.

Hosting all your sites with one host can offer lots of advantages but there is one major disadvantage – if your server goes down, all your sites go down. If you are depending on your sites for income this can be a disastrous situation. For this reason, it is a good idea to have at least one of your sites with a different host. If your sites are essential for your livelihood and you can’t afford any down time whatsoever, you would be advised to host everything with (at least) two hosts. ~_^!

Domain Redemption Period Farce Exposed!

When I first heard about the plans for a redemption period for expired domain names, I thought it was a terrific idea. In the past, too many domains were deleted when, for one reason or another, the owners wanted to continue using them.

What is the Redemption Period?

If you haven't yet heard about the redemption period, it's a "grace period" of up to 30 days that begins once a domain registrar deletes a domain name. This deletion normally occurs sometime within the first 45 days after a name expires without being renewed.

Instead of actually being deleted and re-available for registration within a few days, what happens is the central VeriSign registry holds the name in a new "REDEMPTIONPERIOD" status. The grace period basically gives the original domain owner a chance to renew their domain name.

This redemption period is of particular importance, not just because it extends the time available to renew expired domains, but because all names that enter the redemption period are removed from the zone files, which list the domains that are currently in the global DNS.

Under the previous system, some registrars removed names from the zone files, while others allowed names to continue working normally right up until the day they were deleted. In this case, the actual deletion came as a real shock to many domain name owners, who, by the time they realized what was happening, found it was too late to do anything about it.

With the new system, the Website and email services will definitely stop working for at least 30 days before the name is finally deleted. This gives the owner the opportunity to renew, and means they have no excuse now for failing to renew their domain name.

That's the theory out of the way -- and it sounds like a great way to help clean up the domain name industry. So what's the problem?

Why is it a Farce?

Unfortunately when VeriSign and ICANN get together, they have a habit of taking good opportunities to improve the industry, and reducing them to farces. The redemption period fiasco is one of the most extreme examples to date.

Domain Redemption in Action: Case #1

Take this recent situation. A domain owner (and customer of registrar Network Solutions), whose name had entered the redemption period, contacted me. The domain name in question was vital to his business. In fact, he believed he would lose his job if he couldn't get the name back.

So it should have been a straightforward matter to pay the renewal fee and recover the name, right? That is the whole point of the new system, after all. But no, every time he'd contacted Network Solutions (and he'd spent several hours on the phone with them) he'd been told the same story: that the name was no longer recoverable and would definitely be deleted!

Domain Redemption in Action: Case #2

I was also contacted by one of my own customers whose name had entered the redemption period. When I made enquiries about getting the name back to the ICANN registrar who held the name, they quoted a charge of $200 to have the name returned to its owner. Presumably I was supposed to add my own percentage on top of this figure, and charge the customer even more...

Another Wasted Opportunity

So there you have it! Customer #1 is told the redemption period is not for recovering names after all. For customer #2, the name is recoverable -- but it will cost him at least $200 to do so.

A chance to clean up the industry has been transmuted into a situation that makes the industry look seedier than ever. In fact, it will look to many customers like the new system is just an artifice designed to drain them of more hard-earned bucks.

Designing and implementing a fair redemption period should have been a walk in the park. But for whatever reason, it hasn't happened. One has to seriously wonder about the structure and integrity of an industry where such a farce is allowed to play itself out. Domain name owners, beware!

Do You Lose Domain Name??

Imagine this:
"you wake up one morning to find that your Website has disappeared, your email has stopped working and a person you've never heard of is now listed as the owner of your domain name!"

Such a Kafka-esque loss of digital identity is actually surprisingly common. The main cause is not the well publicised phenomenon of "domain hijacking", but something much more mundane. It's this: for one reason or another, the domain was simply not renewed at the end of its expiration period. When this happens, the sponsoring registrar issues a delete command to the registry, and the name is quickly made available for any party to register.

If the domain is for personal use, then it's no big deal. You learn from the experience and register a new name instead. But what if the name was an integral part of your business strategy? Losing it could cause untold damage to your business.

Success Increases Risk

So what exactly are the chances that other parties might attempt to register your name if it ever did get deleted? Don't be naive and believe that your name is only worth something to you. This is truly not the case. Perversely, the chances of the name being valuable to other parties -- domain speculators in particular -- increase in proportion to how successful you've been in building up your online business.

To understand the reasoning behind this statement, you have to get inside the mind of a typical domain speculator. A year or two ago, most speculators simply registered "virgin" domain names, in the hope that they could sell them on to site developers. In other words, they gambled on the value of the name itself. As it turned out, most speculators were awful at inventing good domain names, and many lost their shirts employing this methodology. "Hurrah!" you say. However, when the dot com bubble burst, speculators came up with a new strategy: the re-registration of "used" domain names. In particular, they like to re-register used domains with "built-in" traffic -- i.e. domains that have incoming links from other Websites, search engines and directories.

With these types of names, speculators are not the slightest bit interested in the actual value of the name itself -- it could be rat-splat-drat.org for all they care. If a name produces traffic, an averagely intelligent reptile could make money from it. Just put up a one-page pay-per-click (PPC) search engine, or any decent (or indecent) affiliate program, and the revenues will roll in.

So, given that domain speculators are now looking for domain names with traffic rather than branding value, you can see that any Website that's been successful, and has built up tens or hundreds of incoming links, is a prime candidate for domain speculators should the name ever be deleted.

How To Get Your Name Back

Now that you know why a speculator might re-register your domain name, let's move on to the crux of the matter: just how do you go about getting your name back should the nightmare come true, and your name be deleted? The first thing to get out of your mind is the notion that this is still "your" domain name.

While you'll undoubtedly feel that the name's still yours, the harsh truth is that your rights expired along with the domain name. Most people will naturally contact their domain registrar first, on the assumption that somehow the registrar will be able to "sort it out" for them. But every registrar will give you the same response. If you didn't pay the renewal fee and the name was deleted, there's nothing they can do, and they certainly don't have any way to get the name back for you.

Given that reality, what other methods can you use to get your name back? You could sue the new registrant, but this is often a hugely complicated, time-consuming and costly affair, especially as the new registrant is just as likely to reside in Korea as in California. The two more practical methods are detailed below, these are:

  • ICANN Arbitration and
  • Domain Purchase.

Tips to Choosing a Domain Name

Your domain name is the center of your Internet identity. So what type of things should you take into consideration when choosing the name that will represent you on the Web?

Below is some tips for you :

1. Keep it short
Although some places allow you to register a name with up to 63 characters, you have to keep in mind that people need to be able to remember it, and easily type it into their browser. Try to register the shortest name that your customers and visitors will associate with your Website. The general rule of thumb is, keep it under seven characters if possible. (Not including the suffix.)

2. Dot Want?
There are many different extensions available right now. For businesses, we recommend a .com suffix. It is the first extension that most people try when searching for a Website. Also, since it is one of the oldest extensions, .com shows that your business has been around for a while and that you have a well-established presence on the Web.

3.Avoid TradeMarked Names
There are two really good reasons for this. First, it’s not very nice. We have all heard the stories about the zany guy who thought ahead and bought "some-huge-multi-million-dollar-company.com" and sold it to the company for enough money to retire on. But, remember that those companies, like yours, have spent lots of time and money creating their brand, and what goes around comes around. Also, companies are no longer opening their pocketbooks to get their names back. They are calling their lawyers.

4. Register Your Domain Now
Domain names are being snatched up faster than candy at the St. Patrick’s Day parade. You must register soon unless you want to get stuck with "the-domain-name-that-no-one-wanted.net". You do not have to have a Webmaster or an ecommerce department or a Web design consultant or... Heck, you don’t even need a Web page. Just get out there and register before you loose the opportunity to get the name you really want.

5. One May Not Be Enough
Sometimes, it isn’t a bad idea to register several similar domain names. If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.net" so no one else takes it. You can register your full company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. Some people even register common misspellings of their company’s name. (You don’t need a separate Web page for each. Several domains can point to the same Website.)

6. Character Types
Just a reminder. Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and dashes. Spaces and symbols are not allowed. Also, domain names are not case sensitive.

7. Ask Around
When you have settled on several available name choices, see what your friends and clients have to say. A name that may make perfect sense to you may be too hard for other people to remember. Is your domain easy to say? Is it hard to spell? Do you have to explain why you chose the name?

8. Don's Shell Out Large Amounts of $$$$
At one time, companies were able to get away with charging reservation fees plus a "mandatory" $70 InterNIC fee. Recently, it was decided that other companies should be able to compete to sell domain names. This has lowered prices dramatically. And remember, if you think that if you have found the right domain name, but you're not quite sure if it's the one... register it anyway before someone else does!
