I have a dedicated server with Hostgator and I want to point img1.smackjeeves.com to img1.smackjeeves.com on my Dreamhost server. Dreamhost tells me what nameservers to use for smackjeeves.com, but my Hostgator server is already serving as a nameserver. Can I have my main DNS record point to Dreamhost's DNS only for img1? Or do I need to have my img1 mimic Dreamhost's DNS for img1?
View 2 RepliesI wanted to point my MX record from my registrar's dns to a hosted account that is controlled by cPanel, but inside cPanel I don't see a unique MX record, it just lists my domain name. Is this possible with cPanel? I have done this before with H-Sphere.
I am just parking my domain and using my registrar's nameservers and wanted to just add in the MX record for email.
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

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.
My client has a domain registered at GoDaddy and a Yahoo Small Business email package.
The only info I can find on Yahoo suggests I need to redelegate the domain's name servers to Yahoo, and I'd rather not do this if I can help it.
Is it possible to simply leave the name servers at GoDaddy and point the MX record to Yahoo's servers?
I don't see anything on Yahoo saying it won't work, but then I see nothing to suggest it will either!
I always thought that i can just go and point nsa.mydomain.com and nsb.mydomain.com A hosts to my personal dns server from my mydomain.com's dns service and use them anydomain.com's name servers.
But today i've been trying to setup another domain (mynewdomain.com) with a different registar and decided to use ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as name servers and setup A host names. when i try to add name servers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com to mynewdomain.com i get error saying name servers not registered. i could only do it by going mydomain.com's current registrar and add name sevrer records ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com.
now, i dont want to know why this is but my question is if i register ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com at my registrar , would they resolve like a current A host record? do i need to add a records at my dns service for those name servers too? if they do resolve without adding A records, instead of usiong dns service why i dont just add more nameserver records on my registar and use them like a records?
I have my domain name pointed to a VPS 1. I want its subdomain (for example sub.domain.com) to be pointed to another VPS 2.
So that if someone visits www.domain.com the php files are delivered from VPS1 and if some visits sub.domain.com then php files are delivered from VPS2.
I need to keep my VPS1 rock solid and extremely secure by keeping lowest possible php files and on low load too and want another VPS for online demo and testing (high load and cluttered with php files). I cannot use another domain (for second vps) as the sub.domain.com pages are already indexed on google and changing domain means will have to again reindex them and rank them in google.
we have 2 VPS
vps 1 : install Direct Admin
VPS 2: install Kloxo ( LxAdmin)
IN VPS 1 we have Sub domain ( sub.site.com)
in VPS 2 : im set DNS in Kloxo => sub.site.com when i click in kloxo, Ipaddress /configur Domain
when i select sub domain ( sub.site.com )
show this error :
Alert: To map an IP to a domain, the domain must ping to the same IP, otherwise, the domain will stop working. The domain you are trying to map this IP to, doesn't resolve back to the IP, and so it cannot be set as the default domain for the IP.
I have some URLs like:
[url]
[url]
Now,I would like to create an alias/sub-domain for this URL. For example:
[url]-> [url]
[url]-> [url]
how this can be done? Do I have to create a subdomain for this? But when I try to create a subdomain throught the OLM control panel, it asks me for the real path i.e. '/var/www/html/subdomain_folder' which I don't have in this case. Secondly, can this be done without modifying any information in the DNS? Changing DNS costs be $5/change from OLM
If I create subdomain to point to a different folder on a different server, can I still keep the original URL?
I'm a new member so cannot post links as example but if subdomain from link A points to link B, can it still keep the URL of the subdomain from link A?
I have my myname.com and I'd like to forward home.myname.com to my home server IP.
I'm running Linux and Apache on both the server I lease (that has myname.com set up on) and on my home server (hopefully home.myname.com).
So far I've tried URL rewriting in .htaccess, which works, but it fowards to my IP in the browser's address bar- Id like to keep the address bar as home.myname.com.
I assume I have to modify the DNS zone for myname.com right?
I'm using bind on the leased server
I have a domain : [url] pointed to server A with IP : 11.11.11.11
I want to make : [url] pointed to server B with IP : 22.22.22.22
I'm using CentOS on server A and I have cPanel/WHM on it and btw I found this tutorial about what I'm asking for but it didn't work after I did it
I would like to create a domain which will point to another website/IP.
Something like this:
DomainA.com has subdomain1.DomainA.Com
and subdomain1.DomainA.com point to DomainB.com
So that a file DomainB.com/abc.html
Can be access via subdomain1.DomainA.Com/abc.html
I have a dedicated
Under namecheap I point this domain using nameserver ns1.*** and ns2.***
Now I must make this:
ms1.domain.com must point to server A
ms2.domain.com must point to server B
How I can set this at best?
Setting must be maked on namecheap (manage dns under namecheap)
OR
setting must be maked on WHM?*
* x example:
www.domain.com point to server A
into server A we must define ms1.domain.com to use local
AND
must define ms2.domain.com to point external to secon server (B)
I am using a cpanel for my site.
While I am not using the nameserver of the cpanel hosting for my site.
I am using a 3rd party DNS server to handle the DNS thing.
I directly point www/ftp/mail/... A records to my site hosting's IP address.
And everything works well.
But there is a problem, I don't know how to set up subdomain.
I created a subdomain with my site cpanel.
And it automatically created a root directory for the subdomain under /public_html. ( .../public_html/subdomain/)
But I don't know how to make the subdomain work.
How to set the DNS records to directly point my subdomain to its root directory on the hosting?
I tried to add a A record for my subdomain. But it only direct the subdomain to /public_html the main domain's root directory.
Untill now, the subdomain is still pointed to the same page as the main domain.
we must point out all email services of domain domain.com
we make it under "edit dns" of WHM by change mail to NEW IP
this work fine BUT NOT for subdomain as sub.domain.com
The email sent to @sub.domain.com keep to delivery on old server
ho to set this?
I am using vps with lxadmin on it. The domain is EverCube.Net. On another server I have it set up with the subdomain blog.evercube.net
View 2 Replies View RelatedWordpress installation (WPML with 3rd level domain es. site. com, fr. site. com).
I need to redirect page from subdomain to a new subdomain
Example:
esp.site.com/oldpage -> es.site.com/newpage (different subdomain)
esp.site.com/oldpage1 -> es.site.com/newpage
esp.site.com/oldpage2 -> es.site.com/newpage
Source site is very chaotic and there are no clear rule for redirection (no regex )
So I need to redirect every page but syntax:
Redirect 301 esp.site.com/oldpage http:// es.site.com/newpage
doesn't work!
which is the correct syntax ?
Can I manage all from one .htaccess file in main root (www) or should I create "esp" directory (and point old subdomain to it - one for every language) and put .htaccess in every directory with redirection ?Â
How can i point *.domain.com in my DNS?
I want to use wildcard subdomain.
A UK-based client has approached me with a domain name he has with ALLDOMAINS.com.
We wish to point it to a host so we can run things like PHP,MySQL,WordPress and do mod_rewrite.
We were going between SupaNames,1&1 and FastHosts.
Has anyone had experience of this and who would you go for?
Done that 100 times at many other webhosting but
I put NS1.DREAMHOST.COM but the site cannot be found:

Can anyone recommend a well-established VPS provider with facilities at a major EU connection point, preferably TheNetherlands? I need a small account for secondary DNS and MX, plus some caching experimentation. Might turn into an unmetered dedicated mega-server at the same location if things go as planned, so if you only have experience with dedi or colo at a certain host, feel free to chime in.
I'm already a colo-host and a cPanel distributor myself, so I don't need management or a control panel, just a minimal-install CentOS 5 VPS. (I'll be installing cPanel DNSonly) Here's the kicker though, like most USians, I only speak English (and some would say badly), so the host has to speak at least enough to get the account set up. (preferably has a site in English). The real deal-breaker is that they MUST have their own merchant account and accept credit cards for recurring billing. I will not use Paypal, Moneybookers, or any other 3rd-party processor that requires a registration or manual payments. That almost always indicates an amateur operation in someone's basement. Looking for something along the lines of ThePlanet, but in Amsterdam. (AmsterNet? PlanetDam? )
I've been with serverpoint.com for over a year now and my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. Last year I negotiated an excellent price for a dedicated box with serverpoint via PM. They delivered my server promptly and even upgraded my CPU since they were out of stock on the one I had ordered. The few times I’ve had to call support (due to issues on my end) they’ve been prompt and professional.
My only real complaint is I can’t setup automatic bill pay online. They want my to send a photocopy of my CC and a photo ID, which I’m leery of.
I suppose this is a boring review, but in and ideal world isn’t that the way it should be? Who wants a lot of drama with a host provider?
i host a website with mydomain.com on server-a,
and there a some websites with the sub domain sub*.mydomain.com on the server,too.
now,i want to move the websites to another server-b,
after copy all the data,
i want to ask how can i point the all sub domain ip to the new server-b directly on server-b?
my server is centos with whm/cpanel
I have a few website's and a whm account.
I also have a few things at home that I would like to access every now and then.
I was wondering if it would be possible to setup a subdomain to point at my ip adress at home?
like if I give the home.domain.com , all traffic would be directed to my home, but domain.com would remain the hosted website?
If it is possible, how do I do it?
We are trying to implement a reseller model shopping website for our resellers. The customized shopping website for the reseller will be hosted on our website, say: abc.xyz.com
We want our resellers to load abc.xyz.com from their own sub domain itself, like: shopping.abc.com
I know that this can be done using a URL redirection, but is there any way that shopping.abc.com will load the contents from abc.xyz.com and still keep the URL unchanged in the address bar ? I'm not referring to URL masking using iframes and note that xyz.com and abc.com are on different servers. Does anyone know whether this is technically feasible?
i have a reseller plan with ahost.com for my paid hosting, I want to setup a account with cheaphost.com for free accounts.
My main domain is mydomain.com and i want this to point to the reseller account on ahost.com, i want the free site to be free.mydomain.com and point to the reseller account on cheaphost.com
Is this possible? If so.. how would i go about setting this up? My domain registrar is godaddy.com
How can get it work this:
-Part 1-
I have a website with a doman point it (as usual) when you go to domain1.com this show you /
I need point a second domain to /domains/domain2/ using alias (the url show domain2.com but if I go to domain1.com/domains/domain2/ this render the same content)
-Part 2-
Now I need point any other domains request this server or this ip to /domains/unknowndomain/ then if you go to domain3.com or domainX.com show this domain in the url bar but render domain1.com/domains/unknowndomain/
E.g.:
domain1.com render /
domain2.com render /domains/domain2
domain3.com render /domains/unknowndomain/
domain4.com render /domains/unknowndomain/
domainX.com render /domains/unknowndomain/
