Domain Name Server (DNS) Changes With Subdomains
I currently have shared hosting, but am getting VPS with another company. I'd like to keep my domains on my original hosting and direct the domains to the new server. I've been reading and it doesn't seem that hard to change for a regular domain. The problem is I don't seem to understand how to do the same for a subdomain. I keep reading about the A record and CNAME, but just don't get it.
Does anyone have any experience with this. Do I just put the IP address for the new server in the A record? I just want to make sure I know what's going on before I order my new hosting and find out it's not possible or something.
I'm also curious if mail, like myname@mydomain.com will continue to work. Or is there something I need to change for this as well.

Wildcard DNS Subdomains Working, But Existing Subdomains Not
I've set up the affiliate manager from jrox.com for a client of mine. This includes the setup of wildcard DNS so that each affiliate can have username.clientssite.com and have it count their clicks - which works properly. What isn't working properly is that he also has forums.hissite.com, which is loading the main website page instead of his forums. He is using cpanel to add the subdomain, and it isn't failing, so I'm not sure what's going on with it. Here is the relative section from the httpd file.

Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal? Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know. I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours. I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly? He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting. Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone? And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?

Reverse Domain Name Server (DNS) ARPA For Domain On VPS
I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names. I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries. Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel, ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40 ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41 But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries? Is it really required?

Domain Parking - Wildcard Domain Name Server (DNS)?
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for. To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page. We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?

WHM Subdomains And DNS
I'm setting up an auto-configuration script to setup accounts in WHM and create subdomains and so far everything is working fine! But we have a problem - when an account is setup and the subdomain is not working yet when a customer visits it he gets wrong dns information and then when the domain starts working it's not working for him. I know that flushdns solves this issue under Windows but I don't want to make my newbie customers run complicated commands. Will a 5 minut delay solve this issue from the moment the account is created to the moment the customer visists the site?

Domain And Subdomains On Different Hosting Servers
I am about to create a domain for my shoutcast hosting service. Now, I am getting a dedicated server just to host the shoutcasts accounts, and keep on using my actual web hosting company for the new domain website and email support. Also I would like the shoutcast clients IP account to be: server1.mydomain.com So I need to create this subdomain in my shoutcast dedicated server? And what Name Servers should I use for my domain? I wonder, cos to be able to make the website and email I need to give the DNS of my web hosting company, but if I dont use the DNS of the Shoutcast Dedicated Server, would my clients be able to login to their account?

Cpanel Main Domain Not Allowing Subdomains
When trying to make a subdomain on my main cpanel domain, through cpanel, it acts like it is making it, and adds the dns entry, but it does not work. All other domains work fine. I submitted a ticket to buycpanel, they asked for the login information this morning, and have not heard back from them. This has happened every since they installed cpanel. I am hoping its something simple that one of you knowledgeable people may know how to fix.

Forward A Domain (incl. Subdirectories/subdomains) To The Same URL
Forwarding a domain (incl. subdirectories/subdomains) to the same URL I'm looking for a provider which can offer a service similar to mydomain.com, I should be able to add an unlimited number of domains to forward on external urls in a way which should point anything-you-digit.myname.com and myname.com/anything-you-digit to the same destination url If the service might also allow to add title, keywords and description for each domain, this would be even better but not required. MyDomain can offer all this but there's a fee for each added domain while we'd prefer paying a monthly fee for a single hosting where adding multiple domains.

This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2. However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2. My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

Domain Name Server DNS Pointing
Hello all, hope someone can help. I have a domain incl. hosting (fanferwalde.com) and three extra domain names, fanferwalde.nl , fanfalingasate.com , fanfalingasate.nl (all three without hosting) who I want to point to fanferwalde.com. Before I bought the extra domains I asked the provider if I could point the extra domains to the “head” domain (fanferwalde.com). Yes, that was possible they said so I bought the extra domains. I asked the provider to help with the configuration to point them to the head domain but they refused, I must do it by myself…………………….. There is no possibility they do it when I pay extra for it so I feel pressed to take also a hosting for the extra domains; then I can make a redirect on each index page. All domain names have an own DNS control panel. I have full access to this. The first picture is the DNS from the head domain. The second picture is the DNS from one of the extra domains I want to point to the head domain. What must I put where so the website from fanferwalde.com will appear when I write fanferwalde.nl in the browser? THANKS in advance!!! (Sorry for my bad English, I’m Dutch)

Domain Name Server DNS Cluster
I´m running 4 servers on a cpanel - dns - cluster. - 1 running cpanel (srv01) - 3 running cpanel-dns-only (cluster01 - cluster03) My DNS config is: srv01 - dns1.domain.com cluster01 - dns2.domain.com I ´ve setup on srv01: - cluster01 (synchronize changes) - cluster02 (standalone) - cluster03 (standalone) On cluster01: - srv01 (synchronize changes) - cluster02 (standalone) - cluster03 (standalone) And on cluster02 and cluster03, I did something like that: - srv01 (synchronize changes) - cluster01 (synchronize changes) - cluster03 (standalone) And - srv01 (synchronize changes) - cluster01 (synchronize changes) - cluster02 (standalone) 1. So, is that correct? 2. It seems that when I click on 'syncronize all DNS records on all the servers' only cluster01 and srv01 got all the DNS records. So is it normal? Yet If I add a domain on cluster02 for example, where I need to add the DNS? cluster02 named.conf or on cluster01/srv01?

Is there any way to auto restart the dns service upon failure on the cpanel dns only build? Also why would the secondary dns server failing, cause the domain to stop working. The primary dns/hosting server was fine.

Have I Got BIND Domain Name Server (DNS) Right?
Ive been learning alot about BIND and DNS, id like someone to check over what ive learn't to make sure my knowledge is correct. A Zone: A zone is basically 'similar' to a sub-domain but the domain google.com would not be a sub-domain, so a zone is not a sub-domain. In the domain google.com 'google' would be a deligated zone from the TLD 'com'. In another example: ny.google.com , 'ny' would be a zone for google's 'new york' department, if they had one. Hosts: The host name is usually the most left word in a domain or you can look at it as the leaves on an inverted tree in the DNS System. Examples: www.google.com = 'www' would be the host mail.sitepoint.com = 'mail' would be the host ny.google.com = 'ny' would NOT be a host because its a 'zone' and does not offer a 'service' like ftp, mail, www ect. would. Unless 'ny' was intended to be a service then it would be a host, but it would have to become a leaf in the inverted tree, so you wouldn't ba able to create any zones from it like 'mail.ny.google.com' ... if that makes sense. Nameservers: If i used BIND on my server to manage my Zones and DNS information (which is pretty much standard), that would be my Nameserver. Its job would be to convert human recognizable names into computer recognizable names/numbers/ip. My nameserver would only have authority over zones that are not deligated. So an example, 'com' deligate 'mydomainname' to me (mydomainname.com) they have no authority over that zone. So if i set up a nameserver on mydomain.com they have no authority over mydomainname or any zone under that. Domain Namespace The Domain Namespace was setup to replace the method used by ARPA (later DARPA) in the 60's in an effort to create a database of hosts that were easy to administer and reduced the time and server load on the old skool HOSTS.TXT method. A domain namespace is a way to identify the different domains. Im not to good at explaining what i mean but basically ill illustrate this example: google.com and google.net both have the same names, so the namespace in this example would the the TLD's 'net' and 'com' to seperate them. Go a bit deeper for example: cd.music.com and cd.disk.com , both have the same TLD and sub-domain's so the namespace here is the first-level domain 'music' and 'disk'. Sub-Domains Sub-Domains are similar to zones, in a way. A domain name: 'google.com' might have the sub-domain 'video.google.com' which links to the video section of google. 'video' is not a deligated zone from 'google' neither is it a host as such, so its a sub-domain. Im probably slightly confused on some parts, and im open for comments. I dont fully understand alot of it, but what ive learnt so far took a good day to get my head around. If anythings wrong, id like to know.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Needed
I need 2 dedicated DNS servers. I'd like one server on the east coast and one on the west or close to it. They will be used for primary ans secondary dns only. Simply running Bind and webmin. I need cheap servers since they are pushing dns data around. Not very bandwidth intensive or cpu resource intensive. The most important thing is that the backbone redundancy is amazing. You can get a good server at a lot of place these day, but who has the staff and backbone to make sure these servers are not bottlenecked and up and running.

Confused About Domain Name Server (DNS)
My domain registrar does not have the facility to create nameservers which means I can't create my own DNS for my websites. I wanted to create ns1.smsmasters.co.uk and ns2.smsmasters.co.uk as my DNS. Does 123-reg allow you to setup your own nameservers and assign an ip? I'm really confused as to what to do. In the past I used my host's DNS.

Moving Domain Name Server (DNS) ...
I'm trying to move sites from one cPanel server to another. Presently, I am using the clustered DNS option in WHM to keep the two servers DNS in sync, which has allowed me to avoid messing with switching name servers for domains as I moved them. Now, I'm looking to turn off the original server, but that server is the one hosting the name servers that most of the domains use (ns1 and ns2.serverforest.com). I'd like to move those name servers over to the new server, which I presume is as simple as re-registering them in the control panel over at my registrar. However, I presume I also need to bind IPs on the new server to the original DNS names. However, if I do that and the DNS cluster syncing occurs, won't that mess things up while I await the registrar making the changes? Do I need to turn off clustering before making the switch? Is there a way to do this seamlessly? Also, for testing purposes I created ns3 and ns4.serverforest.com on the new server. If I now want to move over ns1 and ns2, can I set them on the same two IPs that ns3 and ns4 "own" without any trouble?

Managed Domain Name Server (DNS) ...
So i am planning to move my clients from one server to another and the problem is i want to minimize downtime or have absolutely no downtime. On top of all of this, i plan on moving the server again as i get more money to do it. Anyways, here is the current situation.... mydomain.com has the following nameservers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com My clients are also using ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com I wanted to move my DNS to a managed DNS solution somewhere else and then do the change of servers. Would this be the right way to go about things? Or am i forgetting something? Would it be frowned upon the the hosting industry to have my DNS hosted somewhere else? And last, if i do what im trying to do, how do i do it? lol. I need to keep ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com still active.

VPS - IP And Domain Name Server (DNS)
I'm going to start to configurate a VPS and I have a few questions, please help me. 1- If I have a VPS and I want to have some domains there, Do I need private nameservers? Is there any other way to go? (for example, could I use the DNS of my provider?) 2- How many IP Addresses do I need for a VPS? I think if I have to use private nameservers I'd need two IP for them. Is it correct? And if I want to have reverse DNS for my Host, I think I would need a IP address to be used on for that. Is it correct? So, I would need at least 3 IP Addresses. Is it correct? 3- Is it possible to use a VPS with only two IP Address? Many VPS providers give you only two IP Addresses. Could I use 1 IP Address for DNS and reverse DNS for my Host at the same time? Is it not a problem with hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc?

Server Primary Domain And DNS
I got a new dedicated server, and I put the primary domain name to be zeonwebhosting.com. However, when I setup the nameservers, and go to GoDaddy.com and NameCheap.com to change the nameservers on my domains, I get an "Errors were detected" on GoDaddy.com and a "nRRPResponseCode 531" on NameCheap. I fixed everything in WHM and got a server administrator to fix some things for me, and it didn't work yet. Now I am thinking that the problem might not be with the server, but with the domain. ZeonWebHosting.com is registered at GoDaddy.com, and since I was not sure what nameservers I should put as it is the primary domain name, I used the parked nameservers on GoDaddy, and used the Total DNS feature to change the A and MX Records to point to my server's IPs. I tried putting the ns1.zeonwebhosting.com and ns2.zeonwebhosting.com DNSs on GoDaddy, but still I got the "Errors were detected" error. I tried almost everything possible. I even redid cPanel just to make sure that everything was OK with the cPanel configuration. Also there is another problem with the server. I can't seem to be able to delete Nameservers from "Networking Setup > Nameserver IPs" in WHM. I get this message when trying to delete one of the nameservers: "Sorry, the nameserver ip 66.79.191.196 cannot be removing since it is still registered with an ICANN register."

Domain Name Server (DNS) Hosting On A VPS
I need to make a dns hosting for a client of mine. He will change his domain name nameservers to point to my server. His website is hosted on another hosting company. On my server I will create all the necessary CNAME and A records to point www on the server of the other company. My problem is with the MX records though. Because my client owns a local mailserver, (I think it's MS Exchange server) I need to create a primary MX record to deliver all the mails to that mailserver. No problem till here.. But he also needs a secondary MX record in case his mailserver is inaccessible ,so all the mails have to be queued on my VPS and when his mailserver is accessible again to deliver all the mails. Any idea of how I can configure my dns zones for that?

Domain Name Server (DNS) Service For Clients
So my the other day one of my clients rented a Windows 2003 server. Has no idea on how to run DNS server on it and demanded us to do something about it. Since he had no management plan, we let him know that if he got himself a management plan we could help him out - but looks as though he was on a tight budget and couldn't opt in for it. Same thing happened last week and again one yesterday! To help these customers out I was wondering if I could start a DNS service. Each client would get access to it for free regardless of their operating system or management plan. They could point their domains to the nameservers and use the DNS service to point the domain's A records to their servers. From the start, I have been using EditDNS and still using it. But coming to think of it, its getting more unstable day by day even though they have 5 servers spread across the globe. I am planning on to move to EveryDNS. With this move, I'd like to use their services for my clients too. Rather than running my own DNS servers - I feel this could work out more efficient and reliable. So what I am planning on doing here is more like creating private namesevers to mask EveryDNS's nameservers. Then have a custom script site built to interact with EveryDNS's APIs. Sounds like a good idea? Then my customer uses the script's interface to create/delete/edit records, etc. Anyway I need some advice, suggestion or help in this matter. Has anyone tried this stunt out before? If so, how successful were they/you? How are your customer's reaction towards this (satisfied or not?). Does it stay efficient? (both in terms of money, time and energy spent). Also, if anyone could suggest me any programmer who could do this for me (someone well versed with DNS/EveryDNS on PHP/MySQL) it would be nice. Edit: I guess ServerBeach/Peer 1 already has implement this. If anyone really knows whats going on there - please share.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Type Questions
I'm rather new to hosting so I still don't get everything, but maybe you can help me. I am hosting a web page on a computer that is hooked into the same network as my personal computer. They are both hooked into an openBSD router, which has the connection to the internet. My recently purchased domain name is set to forward all requests directly to the computer with the website on it (named 'b2.') When you visit the domain from an outside computer it does this just fine, but when you try to access it from one of the computers on my network it does not work. From my computer you can not access the website from the domain, but you can still access it just straight through the local network (i.e. typing 'b2' directly into the address bar ) From the computer which is actually the host to the website, it is accessible neither way, though the local network option was working before. Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix it? Keep in mind that I really only understand the basics of web hosting, and terminology and stuff.

Managed Domain Name Server (DNS). Whee?
i m going to buy country top level domain. in our country, its still a manual job. thats not a big problem. but problem is that, i can't change the name servers of the domain in future from web. I have to again submit paper based request to the authority. but I want to use a better service. so, is there any good managed dns provider which i can use to update the DNS from web. I will submit their dns to the authority. then i can point my domain to anywhere i like using their managed dns service.
