Private domain name point to NAS

[stevenktw]

Dear all,
I have created a wordpress blog and want to share to customer. I'd like to purchase a Domain name from Godaddy and wish to point to my NAS. My ISP only give me dynamic IP, is it possible to have my own domain that could point to my blog? E.g when my customers access http://blog.mydomain.com could go straight to my blog?

by the way, it works perfectly with myqnapcloud DDNS but i just want to have my own domain. Thank you.

You'll need to register for a Dynamic DNS service that offers the ability to use your own domain for an added cost.

Dyn-DNS and No-IP offer this service.

easiest way is to use myqnapcloud DDNS service and then modify the DNS of your godaddy domain (for example gtunney.com) to point to it. And on the NAS, go to WebServer settings, enable Virtual Hosts and point it to the /share/Web/Wordpress directory.

Here an example:

Code: Select all

blog 10800 IN CNAME gtunney.myqnapcloud.com.

This means that if you go to blog.gtunney.com you will be redirected to your NAS and since you have the Virtual Host, such request will be redirected to the /share/Web/Wordpress directory.

I've tried this solution, but it seems do not work. I am wondering the TTL should be 10800 or 14440?

Hi, I have made it by using the CNAME method, but there is a problem that all the hyperlink in my blog is still direct to my qnapcloud domain (the url bar on the browser still shows myqnapcloud.com). Could this problem be solved? Thank you in advanced.

Have you set up a Virtual Host?

You can do it easily through the QTS settings page, or through SSH modifying the right file in /etc/config/apache/extra/httpd-vhosts-user.conf.

Edit: here is the block you should add to the file:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName blog.yourdomain.com
        DocumentRoot "/share/Web/wordpress"
</VirtualHost>

After that, either you restart the NAS or, easier, through SSH you restart apache:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/Qhttpd.sh restart
