Good Day All,

I am trying to setup an ftp server at home so I can make some files
available over the internet. I am using VSFTP with redhat 8.0 and it works
fine as long I use the IP of my server at home provided by ISP. Here is the
trick, instead of using
ftp://192.168.1.1/docs I want to be able to use something like
ftp://training.linuxathome.com.

I don't have a lot of networking background, so please bare with me and
hopefully by answering these I'll have better Idea where to start.

1) Do I need to setup DNS ?
2) If I do, that means I need to have domain name hosted by my ISP, correct?
3) I heard that some companies offer free DNS hosting, if that is correct,
who are these companies?
4) what is the best way to approach this?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
