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 time 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, reliable and doesn't get pwned. I want to
be a good net citizen.
*BIND
*Incoming 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 provider uses
Open.Exchange and I like it but I'm also happy to consider other
recommendations)
Thanks,
Paul.
Good choice with Gandi,
I would forget BIND for the time being, just use Gandi's DNS. Then my
preference is Dovecot for IMAP, Postfix for your SMTP and Roundcube for
your webmail.
But first, get ssh running on some random high port and lock down your
firewall leaving only the random high port open
