Cpanel Nameserver Setup
Feb 21, 2007
Sorry if this sounds confusing its my first time. So i have an account at ev1servers.net/theplanet.com when i signed up i was asked for a domain i could use for the servers main domain which we'll call maindomain.com, my question is when you setup private nameservers do they have to be setup for the main domain e.g. ns1.maindomain.com, ns2.maindomain.com? What i did was setup the name servers for a domain account on my server and i couldn't get it to work which leads me to believe it has to be the main domain.

I recently moved hosts and also decided to use what I hope is a more reliable DNS / nameserver setup. So I signed up at everydns.net. I surfed and read for hours and got more confused the more I read.
I finally set up my accounts with the corresponding records as follows:
*.mysite.com CNAME mysite.com
mysite.com A 123.123.123.123
mysite.com MX (10) 1mail.mysite.com
www.mysite.com A 123.123.123.123
My questions are:
1 - Is this pretty much right?
2 - should I have a second MX recored like:
mysite.com MX (10) 2mail.mysite.com
I'm using 4 nameservers >> ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, ns4.everydns.net,

I just purchased my first dedicated server. It comes with WHM 11.2.0 / CentOS Enterprise 5 i686.
Could someone please refer me to a guide to setup the nameservers? I've tried to follow some guides i found on google but still I can't get websites to resolve.
How do I know my nameservers are working? When I ping them they display the proper IP's and when I enter them in a browser it goes to the cpanel default site that it should but when I park domains to them, they don't work.
Could someone please maybe give me a guide for WHM 11.2.0? Also, some of the guides said to modify /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nameserverips. I did modfiy /etc/resolv.conf to my information.
If it would make it easier, pretend i'm trying to add ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com as nameservers with the hostname server.domain.com and domain name domain.com. I want ns1.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.47 and ns2.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.48. What would /etc/resolv.conf look like after and what would /etc/nameserverips look like after? And what are the steps to take in WHM to set it up?

I hope I posted on the right section..
I have setup ISPconfig on a VPS (that was given to me for free)..
I have one dedicated IP, and I used a .co.cc domain to access my server..
now, my question is, how do I setup name server? what name server should I use to point the domains that I will host on my server?

I've just installed whm on my new server at leaseweb and wanted to know what nameservers I should put down in whm?
Is it ns1.localdomain.com or ns1.leaseweb.nl?
I suppose I can't set nameservers for my own domain since I've only got one Ip and I would need 2?

I currently have a domain registered at godaddy.com
the domain is NDSuniverse.com
I've ordered a VPS at skodagroup.com, they given me WHT VPS Pro, Cpanel, LXadmin contrtol panel.
quote from e-mail
Custom DNS Server Addresses
=============================
The custom DNS addresses you should set for your domain to use are:
Primary DNS: ns1
Secondary DNS: ns2
You will have to login to your registrar and find the area where you can specify both of your custom name server addresses.
After adding these custom nameservers to your domain registrar control panel, it will take 24 to 48 hours for your domain to delegate authority to your DNS server. Once this has taken effect, your DNS server has control over the DNS records for the domains which use your custom name server addresses.
they didn't give me any nameserver DNS....
How can i get my domain hosted onto my VPS asap? Step by step instructions really needed. thank you.
Also, i have 2 free IPS.

I am wondering how to set up a nameserver on my new VPS with 1and1.
I have all my domains hosted on netfirms.
This is what I have done, but doesnt seem to be working:
i have a domain ex: mycompany.com on netfirms and i created an A Record that is ns1.mydomain.com that points to the ip of the VPS ex: 55.55.55.55
I have also created an ns2.mydomain.com. I did this through the netfirms control panel
Is there anything else i need to do?

I would like to setup a caching Bind nameserver for which I need to modify the file /etc/named.conf. The file is automatically created by Plesk however and I am unable to find information on how to modify the file in Plesk.
Code:
#ATTENTION!
#
#DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY,
#SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.
// $Id: named.conf,v 1.1.1.1 2001/10/15 07:44:36 kap Exp $
Any way to modify named.conf?

i spent quite some time, but its just not working.
i own a domain called exampledomain.com
now i give hostname as quick.exampledomain.com
and in my registrar i have added ns1.exampledomain.com and ns2, and to the ip addresses that were bound to my VPS.
now when i go to cpanel setup, and add ns1.exampledomain.com, it will binditself to my main server public IP.
when i add ns2 and ns3, it will not work.

1) I use DNSMadeEasy for a couple of my important domains so I can utilize their failover service.
2) I use my own nameservers for everyone else.
At my register (GoDaddy) I've added host entries to my domain (let's call it host.com) for ALL of my nameservers: DNSMadeEasy and mine. For example here are my host entries:
1) nsdme0.host.com = 55.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
2) nsdme1.host.com = 56.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
3) nsdme2.host.com = 57.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
4) nsdme3.host.com = 58.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
5) nsdme4.host.com = 59.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
6) ns1.host.com = 60.55.55.55 (mine)
7) ns2.host.com = 61.55.55.55 (mine)
At the register I've then configured host.com to use the first five nameservers for itself, the DNSMadeEasy nameservers.
For less critical sites that I host I simply point them to ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com, my nameservers.
Now, here's the twist. If I use dig to look up www.host.com I get:
[root@lax1 ~]# dig +trace www.host.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> +trace www.host.com

BUT, if I lookup the nameserver (ns1.host.com) I get:

;; Received 241 bytes from 192.54.112.30#53(H.GTLD-SERVERS.net) in 151 ms
What I've realized is that the actual IP addresses for nameserver host entries come from a higher level server than my own, in this case H.GTLD-SERVERS.net. I guess this makes sense but I just hadn't realized it before. It looks like I don't even need to have record entries in my DNS records for the host nameservers.
Now for the question. Can I:
1) Remove my custom host nameserver entries from my register.
2) Add entries in my DNSMadeEasy records to specify the location of ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com.
3) Use the failover provided by DNSMadeEasy to also fail-over my DNS entries for my nameservers?
I know this would require one more hop if it works but it would allow me to provide failover ability to fifty domains without having to purchase the extra domains at DNSMadeEasy.

As my clients' needs expand, they're asking for chroot ssh/sftp setup. I'm currently on a dedicated Linux setup but don't really have the time to set up a whole new box with full virtualization or investigate a full chroot solution (baby on the way), and to be honest it would be less hassle to move to a new provider than worry about down time with sites.
What I'm looking for:
- linux hosting
- hosting for 30+ accounts, some with several domains
- at least 6 IP addresses for SSL certs
- each account in a full chroot environment (ssh/sftp/ftp) so they can't poke around each others' files, or each account set up in a virtual machine setup (ie: openvz)
- maildir
- spamassassin
- php 5, mysql, perl 5.8.8
- suexec apache would be nice

This is the output at RIPE NCC's web update interface:
***Info: Authorisation for parent [inetnum] 193.53.87.0 - 193.53.89.255

***RDNS: (related to set) ERROR (20 points):

***Error: There are 20 or more problem points. Delegation was not successful.
This is what I am trying to submit:

tech-c: ITGR-RIPE

Following the guide available at:
[url]
Now, how do I create the SOA record on a cPanel based server? I created a new zone, rdns.infinitetech.in and now what? I don't see SOA record option at all in the drop down list!
Unless I misunderstood what an SOA record is, I have no idea how to implement rDNS. Anyone?
If any RIPE NCC member/participant is available to answer this question directly it would be awesome! Others, give it your shot - I do understand that most of you are ARIN members/participants.

I've recently setup a vps with cPanel DNS only - to provide more redundancy to my hosting/dns network. (secondary dns solution)
I've set it up so my hosting server synchronises changes on the vps as well.
Since I can't actually get it to list the dns records on the vps via whm, how I can check that the records are on the vps and can be queried correctly.
When I tell it to manually synchronise the records from my hosting server, it reloads bind on both servers with no errors.

Our domain is hosted with a cPanel based shared hosting company only for website.
We have an Exchange 2003 server that is assigned with two dedicated IP's provided by our ISP with rDNS configured. So all outgoing emails are send using these two ISP lines and all works fine.
Since we are going to change the ISP, and the new ISP is refusing to set rDNS we are going to use our cPanel based shared hosting account to send our mails - so we will be configuring our Exhcnage 2003 to [smarthost] to forward all the emails to the hosting server.
I need to what I have to do in the cPanel account to make this work.

I am really getting confused now. Some people tell me it is possible to set up a simple subdomain and add a SSL-certificate to this, while others tell me I have to set up a new account for the subdomain (subdomain.domain.com) in WHM and assign it to it's own IP-adress.
So, my queston is what is the best way to set up a secure subdomain, like [url]? I have already purchased a SSL-certificate for secure.domain.com.
