Custom Nameserver

Jan 8, 2007

I recently signed up for hosting with ASO on a shared hosting plan with intentions to operate an SMF forum. Prior to going live, I would like to prepare for a possible upgrade to a VPS in the near future if the forum exceeds allowed resources on the shared platform, specifically the MySQL connections which appears to be set at 40. I am currently utilizing the ASO nameservers and was wondering the following:

If I setup custom nameservers at Namecheap and request likewise from ASO, when it comes time to switching to a VPS, can I perform the following and anticipate downtime only during steps 2 & 3?

1) Configure the VPS (including DNS)

2) Switch forum to maintenance mode and transfer data to VPS

3) Change the customer nameserver IP addresses at Namecheap

Basically, I want to verify that I won't experience the 24 to 48 hrs of downtime associated with changing nameservers. Additionally, are there any known disadvantages of having custom nameservers on a shared hosting plan?

Custom NameServer Issues For Resellers

Jan 27, 2008

I seem to be having some issues with custom nameservers on my Cpanel VPS.

I've setup Custom nameservers for my resellers after getting some advice from WHT however no my resellers seem to be having DNS issues all of the time when using the custome nameservers.

If a reseller uses our main Nameservers then everything seems to work fine, its just the custom ones that have issues.

The custom name servers are setup as follows.

Main Nameservers
N1.Domainname.co.uk - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
N2.Domainname.co.uk - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2

Custom Nameserver:
DNS Zone added for
NS1.RESELLERDOMAIN.COM - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX1
NS2.RESELLERDOMAIN.COM - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2
DNS zones point to same IPs a Main Nameservers.

Issues include problems with reg companies, Cron Jobs failing when looking for the server etc...

Can A Nameserver Be Specified In An A Record By Another Nameserver

Apr 4, 2008

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.

Allow Custom Php.ini

Jun 12, 2009

I would like to know how to allow customers to use their own php.ini file. I have had hosts in the past that allowed you to use a custom php.ini file so long as you put it in every directory that you would need to use it.

I was just trying to figure out how this is done as I am new to all of this and trying to learn.

Custom Php.ini

Mar 15, 2007

I have a reseller account on a server, and I have a client who needs to used a custom php.ini file to set the session.save_path variable. He has created this file and placed in the public_html folder, but this path still comes up as 'No Value' and the Configuration File Path still reads '/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini '.

What do I need to do to get this site to read from the correct php.ini file? I tried setting this in the .htaccess file, to no avail.

Nameserver/IP

Jun 30, 2009

I have a domain hosted at godaddy.com and I decided to go with VPS hosting elsewhere. I have changed the nameservers to [url]and [url]at godaddy. I set up the reseller account in WHM but the nameservers point to something other than [url]I am trying to change them to the correct nameservers by using the "Nameserver IP Assigment" tool but it is taking literally forever. Is this normal?

Should I have to wait until it assigns an IP address to use the correct nameserver?

I forwarded the name servers at my registrar, GoDaddy.

However, when I look at my INTODNS report, I am getting all sorts of nameserver errors:

Is this normal while the changes propogate? Or did I mess something up, because I also cannot access my VPS cpanel now.

Nameserver

Jun 15, 2008

Say a person has a domain called mydomain.com

and this domain mydomain.com is hosted from a nameserver called ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com

will this mean that:

the person who own mydomain.com owned his/her own webhost server?

and is that what is being called dedicated server? where I already did some research that would mean the whole server is owned by the 1 person/domain only?

I have been asking question to myself quite sometime now.. and hoping that this forum could help me in understanding this matter.

Nameserver

Oct 6, 2007

I just took out a VPS hosting plan with Hostican, but I'm a bit confused about whether I followed their instructions properly... please be patient

Their instructions said this:

Quote:

Please note that on our network a VPS is like your own private space on the network to work from. This is why we provide your account with two dedicated IP addresses that you will need to use to register your name servers with. Please view the below name servers and IP addresses that you should use to register them.

ns1.mydomain.com <==> xx.xx.xx.xx
ns2.mydomain.com <==> xx.xx.xx.xx

Now all my domains are registered with 1&1, who don't provide an option for creating private nameservers in their control panel. So, I created two subdomains (ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com) and then created A records for ns1 and ns2, pointing to the IPs supplied by Hostican. Then I changed the nameserver for my domains to ns1 and ns2.mydomain.com

After a couple of days, this seems to have worked - domains point to new VPS webspace and emails working. I'm worried whether I did this properly though, or whether I'm going to get problems in future with reverse dns and stuff?

Different NameServer IPs

Jan 3, 2007

I did ping the nameservers,

ns1.mydomain.com [130.74.135.102]
ns2.mydomain.com [66.21.114.11]

And this is when I added a new domain in Cpanel.
Using nameservers with the following IPs: 66.21.113.11,66.21.114.11 Bind reconfiguring on serverprovider using rndc
Created DNS entry for mydomain.com

Should it really be 2 different nameserver IPs?

Nameserver

Nov 4, 2007

I just got a VPS, (unmanaged...eh), and I seem to be having a problem with nameservers.

The current IP for the VPS is: [url]

Its set as the shared IP in WHM, so everything is pointing to that. I asked my host if the nameservers ns1.thehobbylounge.com and ns2.thehobbylounge.com should work (that is the domain for the account I am running under WHM/cPanel), and I was told that this was correct.

However my registrar gives me a validation error when I put in those nameservers for my domain.

I tried to follow these steps: [url]

But they seem to be already done...I think thats if your server isn't setup at all.

can't seem to figure out how the whole nameserver/DNS thing works.

My VPS is registered under a domain, say mydomain.com. So my nameservers on the VPS are registered under ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com, both assigned to the two IP addresses for my VPS.

The problem is, I'm trying to figure out how to get mydomain.com to actually point to my VPS from my registrar. If I type in ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com, it's just pointing to itself so it doesn't work.

Now I transfered to a VPS plan. I want to use my domain as nameserver and one of my sites. I changed domain manage page like this:

ns1.ziafat.com
ns2.ziafat.com

on the bottom of page I clicked this:
If you want to create or modify a nameserver which is based on ziafat.com click here.

and entered ns1.ziafat.com and ns2.ziafat.com and two IPs of my VPS plan.

Now all sites hosted on my new VPS opening currectly just ziafat.com (priemery and nameserver) domain opening as a blank site!

I saw server technical created a reseller account with ziafatco username and all of my accounts are under ownership of that.

How To Set Up Nameserver On New Box...

Aug 11, 2007

I'm uploading my files to this new server and will switch over to it later.. I alredy know how to change the Nameserver at registrar...

My question is that how I should name the Nameserver on this new server?
Because my old server has the name of following Nameserver;

---------------------
NS1.MYSITE.COM
NS2.MYSITE.COM
---------------------

And my new server has exactly same name as this!!

I went throught WHM and I need to assign IP address to this Nameserver on the new server, and what will happen if I assign this IP address to the same Nameserver as in old server?

In this case,

1) Should I change the name of Nameserver to something else, such as following?

---------------------
NS3.MYSITE.COM
NS4.MYSITE.COM
---------------------

2) Or should I use IP address instead of using this English name?
3) Or should I wait until all the files are uploaded and assign this IP address to this Nameserver on the new box? I wonder what will happen if I do this, because there would be 2 different IP address to the same Nameserver in this earth!

CentOS with DirectAdmin (thanks to WHT for recommending this).

I hope you will look at the pictures and tell me what I am doing wrong.

I have followed the guide in DirectAdmin forum for creating a nameserver, but I still got problem. (I have not been able to post in there forum, cause I have not gotten a activate mail yet, so while I wait for that, I hope you will help me.)

I have waited a couple of days for the dns nameserver to update, but it is still not working.

Nameserver

Sep 23, 2007

I was with VPS Host A. When I wanted to have my domain name on the VPS from Host A, I simply entered the primary & secondary nameserver names at my registrars site and it was done.

Host A's service was poor, so I've started with VPS Host B. they created nameserver names for me at Host B's DNS for my VPS.

When I went to my Registrars site to entered these nameserver names, I was instructed to create an A record and a subdomain for each nameserver name.

I don't understand why it was simple with the first set of nameserver settings but not the 2nd ones.

The domain name for my first vps is different than my second vps.

The nameserver names from Host A didn't include the doamin name, for example Host A's were ns1.computer.com and ns2.computer.com and the nameserver names from Host B were ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com.

Could it be that it wasn't easy the second time because the nameserver names included my domain name?

WHM Custom Nameservers

We just got a dedicated server, my first time messing with anything dedicated though I've had WHM before. I have 4 domains I'd like to setup to point to this. But I'd prefer our company URL to host the name servers. Domains are registered through enom who will allow me to setup the name servers.

I'm trying to use the "Nameserver IPs" section in WHM to setup the name servers but it just sits and "works" but never actually finishes. Does my company URL need to be pointing to the server before doing this?
