Title: If you register your own namecoin domain, do u need to keep a DNS server running
Post by: sv4ol84a6v79a46ilby on April 13, 2013, 12:21:25 PM
Per instructions here: http://dot-bit.org/HowToRegisterAndConfigureBitDomains

Do I need to keep my computer on and the DNS running constantly in order to host my own domain?

Yes, it will need to be running just like if you were using VPS or dedicated hosting.

You don't need to run your own DNS server if you're willing to rely on existing DNS servers that already work with .bit domains. You'd probably want to use something like FoxyProxy to make sure not every DNS request goes through such a server.
