Hello
I am thinking on starting a blog to tell people about open source projects and tell what I learned about xoops, xubuntu and others.
Do you know some free good blog service like blogger where one can have .zip files (wich are not allowed in blogger) ?
Also, I am building my server and community.
Soon I will have a good DSL connection and static IP.
I am building my site with XOOPS CMS and Xubuntu, both excelent.
So I suppose the next is to reserve my domain name.
I have these questions:
1) What must I do to get people visit my site in my home server when they write a domain name? I read about DNS, domain names, etc but I am a bit confused. Can someone explain me in a simple way what is all that? Do I need a domain name and contract something more?
2) Do you know some reliable website to contract those domain names or other services required, for not more than 10 euros a year?
3) I live in Spain, Europe. Do I need to contract a domain name here or can I contract it with an australian or US provider, per example?
4) Do you know some good website about networking in Xubuntu, or Ubuntu that explains things easy to beginners?
Thanks a lot.
Jordi
