Hi,
Thank you for you help with choosing a domain registrar. I went with =
Gandi I'm the end and they seem great.
I've bought my first domains and I'=
m just about to begin configuring services on my VPS. This is the first tim=
e I've run a server facing the public internet.
I'd really appreciate any =
guidance on the best way to set up the following so that it's competent, re=
liable and doesn't get pwned. I want to be a good net citizen.
*BIND
*Inco=
ming mail
*A POP3/IMAP server for my client.
*An SMTP server for my client =
to send to.
*Webmail for on-the-road access to my mail. (my existing provid=
er uses Open.Exchange and I like it but I'm also happy to consider other re=
commendations)
Thanks,
Paul.
