[Swansea Hackspace] DNS help

[Nathan Hackett]

If you're hosting multiple sites then it might be worth installing a
control panel to help with configuration and hide some of the complexity.
Gnupanel and webmin are free, or depending on who your service provider is
they might have cPanel or Plesk available for a small monthly fee.

I have a few sites on a CentOS VPS at work but there are other members who
are much more knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. Happy to help this
evening if you're about. :)
