DNS: Are you going to write your own or have them do it. Some registrars
won't point to a host outside their hosting pool. I pay my ISP a couple
bucks a month extra to secondary my DNS entries. They hit mine 3 times a day
and as long as I update the 'serial' in my entries, I'm good to go. Search
for DNS HOWTO, or NAMED HOWTO for help.

Very true. If Apache is running, just point your browser at localhost and
you're on your way.

Wow, that's a book. Please be specific with requests, hopefully one per
email, as you go along and hit the inevitable bumps. Some things you'll
probably end up doing is VirtualHosts and security/login sites, etc. This
isn't rocket science, but it can get hairy with the different versions of
HTTPD.

As long as you're at it, look into fetchmail, or just using your host as the
email server, too. That cleans up the MX records at the DNS server. If you
do, take a hard look at bogofilter or spamassassin, plus clamav for virus
protection. You could look at them anyway if you are going to use fetchmail,
which is pretty simple to use. Redundancy is good for spam and virus
filtering.

HTH more than confuses.
