[users@httpd] dns/web server setup guru

[bruce <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hi.

Working on a few test web projects/apps. Normally, using a test remote
distance with the actual ipAdress is ok. However, a few test apps appear to
require/specify setting up actual sub-domains.

I'm considering setting up test "domain" for this purpose.

So, looking for someone skilled in this area that I can talk to on this
process.

dns
cname/a recs
cloudflare/etc..
sub domain setup
ddos/security
etc..

I'm also posting this on a few different threads/areas. I'd rather find a
skilled person, as simply doing the vids/AI/sites might not get me what I
want. Talking to someone is a better/easier process.

thanks

Protecting a web application is best done via authentication, either via
HTTP AUTH, or in the application itself.  IP/DNS filters can be bypassed if
someone gains access to the necessary network.

Whether the application is run in the main vhost or another is not that
important.

That falls a bit outside the scope of this mailing list; however, asking
for help with setting up vhosts and such isn't a problem.  As well, each
application may require specific httpd directives, so it'll depend on what
you're deploying.

hi.

think u miss my primary issue.  to completely walk through/setup web
domain/server.

ie, purchase url name, apply that to remote server/instance.  setup
subdomains for different test apps, etc..
