How To Configure Dns And Windows 2003 Web Edition?
So far i used only shared hosting and VPS but I am hosting my web site now, at home, on Windows XP
I am about to buy a dedicated server using Windows2003 web edition and since it doesn't have an active directory to set up DNS, how can I configure the dns server to point to my server machine?
Thanks in advance

You don’t need AD to setup DNS but I’m not sure if Windows 2003 Web Edition has DNS server in it.
My recommendation is to use a free service like everydns, it will make your life soooo much easier.
