[clue] Web Hosting Question

[ed]

I agree it is no simple task but I hope that I gave a good overview of the
basics.
I am setting up my server again...
I had it operational as of last year but took it down within the last few
months.
I had all kinds of documentation on my workstation on how to configure it and
maintain it.
that is all gone due to a dd if=live-cd.iso of=/dev/WRONG DRIVE!!!
yeah, yeah I tried to get the data back....
anyways I got 253 lines of input strings to get a server up with dovecot
postfix postfixadmin roundcube and apache with a mysql back end to run the
email.
so I am as we speak ready to go on the install side of a server.
now, my last server setup was believe it or not a win xp apache server with a
virtual debian email server with ports forwarded accordingly.
so yeah setting up a server isn't all that difficult if you have done it
before and remember 250+ instructions off the top of your head and what they
do.
:) , <-- and this is with a chuckle of course....
on about the static ip, I don't have one so I use dynamic name registration...
I would suggest using the same because you can always retain the name
& point it to different hosting servers accordingly...
