| Yea, i figured that now i have a server running, i can get a revenue off of it. So yea, i thought the easiest way is to put adverts from google adsense or amazon or something like that. and yea, i was wondering, what shud u put into a site so that its popular enough to get loads of traffic, and if there are any good web apps that are like a all in one, as in they have a forum, a blog ect. Thanks |

What you probably want is a content management system (CMS). These are basically
all-in-one website scripts written in PHP that you install on your server. Most already
have forums, shoutboxes, downloads, etc included. For more info and demos of the most
popular CMS' go to... http://opensourcecms.com
As far as getting traffic to your site?...you'll have to figure that one out.
BTW - welcome to the forums. ;)

DNS has nothing to do with http or ftp. It's simply a directory service.
When you ask for http://www.google.com, your computer silently sends a request to a DNS server (using port 53). The DNS server only returns an IP address associated with Google, which right now is 64.233.179.99.
Your browser then asks for www.google.com on port 80 from 64.233.179.99, and Google's web server returns the info.
The short story: DNS is only supposed to return IP addresses for registered domains.
Without a domain: If you have an FTP server on port 21, you can access it with your external IP address (ftp://YOUR-IP). There is NO DNS setup involved.
With a domain: Point your domain to your IP address (which would be changing your DNS record). Then access ftp://your-domain.com.
