Hello,
at home I have in my LAN a Windows PC and a server I wish to use with ubuntu server. I have Internet connection (ADSL) provided by my Telco. I have few Static IPs but I use only one for my LAN; at present time I do not wish to use a static IP for my SMTP or web. I will ask and wish to learn after I practiced locally, first.
I wish to learn what do I need (and howto) in order to create a new server that would be similar to what I would get from any ISP when I choose to get VPS server for my webhosting site.
The reason for this is to learn how to setup, in the future, a proper VPS server and also to be able to locally practice how to develop websites with CMS, static sites and so on.
These are the services I am interested in:
- Web (LAMP) + MyphpAdmin;
- Mail (with spam, virus check, webmail);
- FTP service;
- Mail notification if something goes wrong on the system
- If possible a nice web interface that would help me manage the entire server (something like cpanel or DirectAdmin or whatever could be of help).
Here is my main concern:
I know that if I do not have a public IP for my SMTP I could have frame Relay issues and won't be able to use it. For this, I know, as an example, that Nas4Free is able to send emails without any issue and all this is done behind a firewall (like in my case). This could be an excellent way and I wish to learn how to do so.
Another alternative would be to set up my local system to use an existing mail service I have from one of my providers.
Can anyone please help me getting started?
Thank you,
Spiro
