Dear Forum4designers.com Team,

Dear Support Team,

Could you guide me, how to install my own web server?

Idea from me:
1- Internet Connection with two public IP (Web Server and Mail Server)
2- Request ISP company to host name server like bellow:
Web Server and Mail Server:
a- www.mydomain.com : Public IP is 207.104.168.22 (Example)
b- smtp.mydomain.com : Public IP is 202.178.112.22 (Example)
MX Records:
mydomain.com MX preference = 10, mail exchange = smtp.mydomain.com

3- Domain Name: mydomain.com
Domain Pointer
ns1.myisp.com (ISP company will provide NS for me)
ns2.myisp.com (ISP company will provide NS for me)

4- Windows 2003
Apache webserver, mysql server and PHP.

5- Cisco Router
1- Eth0 (From Modem that provided by ISP)
2- Eth1 (Connect to the Web Server)
3- Eth2 (Connect to the Exchange mail server)

My question:

If i do ask what i planed as above it's work or not?

Thanks and Regards,
SopheakVirak

You said you'll be running Apache, mysql and PHP. You know, the best, "native" platform for these servers is actually Unix. So I suggest you to change Windows 2003 in your "wishlist" to FreeBSD or some Linux installation (Gentoo rocks). This way you'll be sure your server will work 24/7.
