[NCUC E-team] DNS, VPS &c

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Part 6 of the series. :-)

One fairly natural set of tasks is those that are
done with our hosting provider, Gandi:

* Renewing domain registration, once a year (although
it could be paid for several years at once if desired).

* Editing zone file as needed. Rarely needed, probably
not even every year (might want to add IPv6 address
at some point though).

* Editing email aliases. Necessary only when @ncuc.org
addresses need to be changed or added (and they aren't
used much).

* Managing VPS resources: renewing VPS yearly,
purchasing more disk space, RAM, CPU power or bandwidth
when needed (probably not often - disk space is likely
to run out before next year is over though).

* Buying and renewing SSL certificate, if it is decided
to use https properly (should've done this long ago but...
the cost is some $12/year, first year free).

All of those are done with Gandi's web interface, which
is pretty easy as such things go.
Brenden has mostly taken care of these.
