I have 2x servers with the following os/control panels: 1x Windows Server 2008 running Plesk 9.2 1x Centos 5.3 running cPanel/WHM
What I wish to do is to point all of my domains to the nameservers: ns1.domain.com ns2.domain.com
But, the domains hosted could be on either of the boxes above (because some sites are ASP.NET and others PHP).
Each of the above machines are running BIND and I have not yet setup nameservers on either of them. How should I proceed with this?
In addition (for arguments sake), if I then add additional servers how would I then achieve the same?
If there's already stuff around on the forum (I've done a search but found nothing specified to my issue of running a windows and linux box with completely different control panels) please point me in the right direction.
Lets say for example I have 10 servers independent of each other. I want to be able to have only 2 Nameservers, NS1 and NS2 where all the domains should resolve to and then they should be handed off to one of the 10 servers. I dont want to have 20 Nameservers for example NS1 thru NS20 for all 10 servers. That would also be a waste of IP addresses.
I have a few murky solutions in mind. I would appreciate if someone would shed some light on the issue,
Can the same nameservers be used on multiple servers/vps on different geographical locations and if so, how are they setup? That would save me quite some money. Hoping for some input.
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
I registred with ENOM a IO and a JP Domain and tried to enter my nameservers which are correct configured. I always use them for other com, net, org, info and biz domains which I registred with ENOM.
But for the JP and the IO Domains, ENOM is not accepting my nameservers and I get the following error message:
For the IO Domain:
Quote:
nRRPResponseCode 507 Nameserver ns1.mynameserver.com cannot be registered Errors may be due to changes that may take 1 hour to 4 days to take effect at the registry.
For the JP Domain:
Quote:
Updating nameservers failed. Please try again.531
I contacted ENOM and got the following responce:
Quote:
This error message usually indicates that the name server is not registered in the appropriate zone. Please contact the sponsoring registrar of mynameserver.com and request that they add the out-of-zone records for the name servers to be used in the .IO zone.
But what does this mean? Do I need to configure my nameservers different for IO or JP domains? Or do I need to register my nameservers somewhere for this domains?
I figured out that since they are both hosted on one server it doesn't really matter if it'll be 2 different IPs or a single one so I decided to be more economic
Only thing is that through Cpanel (Networking Setup -> Nameserver IPs) I can't add two nameservers with the same IP...
I currently have a domain at Network Solutions and I am going to transfer that domain to Godaddy. I also have 2 nameservers that I am running associated with that domain (ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com) that are also registered with Network Solutions.
My question is what happens to those nameservers when the transfer takes place? Will Network Solutions remove them from their database at that time? My concern is when the transfer happens there will be no nameservers registered at Godaddy and my sites will be down. Anyone know how that works?
Say I have two different hosting accounts at two different web hosts. One at host1.com and another at host2.com. In both the hosts I keep the same files. I use an external registrar and use the name servers for one of my domains as follows:
ns1.host1.com
ns1.host2.com
ns2.host1.com
ns2.host2.com
What would happen in that case, if say host1 is down sometime? Will the name servers point to host2.com?
If this could work, then the probability of downtime of a site would become almost 0 . Google will like this ?
Another question is how to easily sincronize both cpanel accounts?
Is it possible to get a list of domains that are using a specific pair of nameservers?
We've purchased several hosting companies over the years, and would like to consolidate the nameservers we are using and need to manage.
Thus.. we need to figure out which customers are using which nameservers.
So getting a list of which domains are using the nameservers we don't want to use any more would be a nice easy way. Then we can contact those specific customers only.
Man that was a badly worded title. My question is, for example any domain parking program, all you have to do is point your domain nameservers to the nameservers of the parking company. How can I do this for me?
Sorry if it's worded a bit weird, but I want people to be able to set their nameservers to mine, and that domain would become similar to a parked domain that I'd make through cpanel. Then I'm assuming I can use a little script or mod_rewrite to configure it (for example, parkeddomain.com would be rewritten to mysite.com/redir.php?a=parkeddomain.com).
1) What are some things/terms/programs I can look into for this?
2) Is this possible on shared hosting or would I need a dedicated?
Ive always thought that I knew the DNS principles, but now something really strange is going on.
I have one domain (hosting.com), which runs the nameservers: ns1.hosting.com = server1 ns2.hosting.com = server2 ns3.hosting.com = server3 ns4.hosting.com = server4
And a lot of normal domains: client1.com and client2.com. These domains have ns1.hosting.com, and ns2.hosting.com configured as nameserver. Hosting.com also had these configured.
The situation above worked well. Server3 and 4 were not used at all.
The problems started when I migrated hosting.com to use server3 and server4. I transfered the zonefiles of hosting.com to these servers, and edited the WHOIS info to reflect these changes. This worked: hosting.com was working from server3 and server4.
10 mins later the first downtime-message came in. Client1.com could not resolve. A quick check using dig showed why: l.gtld-servers.net [192.41.162.30] ns3.hosting.com. ns4.hosting.com.
Somehow the root servers think that the client1.com and client2.com domain also have changed nameservers. But those are not changed, the wois info still points to ns1 and ns2.
So in some strange way the root servers now return ns3 and ns4 for all domains that use ns1.hosting.com & ns2.hosting.com in their WHOIS. I alway thought that the root servers got their info from the whois info of the domain. (Or better said: the registar). Why do the root servers return ns3 & ns4, while ns1 and ns2 are configured?
I run a small web development company and we purchase hosting on behalf of our customers through 1and1.
We recently started renting a VPS through them that claims it can handle up to 100 individual domains, but we have been having problems. Most of the sites are 7-8 pages of content, a few all flash, and some with flash headers.
We have approx 20 domains currently running on this VPS but the sites are down a lot or take forever to load (5 minutes).
i recently purchased my first vps from netdepot and want to transfer my 2 web forums from shared hosting. So what is the best and easy way to do this. I got the control panel Lxadmin and also webmin. I Switch Programed to apache and bind because i know little bit about them.
I am setting up a server with multiple domains on windows 2008. I am using mail server and I am looking at putting webmail on it. I would like to have people access www.domain.com/mail and get to the webmail interface. Would I use virtual directories for this?
i m manging 3-4 Website on a same hosting service.logging in n out is very hectic,i use FTP.its very cool but wht if i wanna add all domain under one domain n manage em from there is that possible?
i just had a simple question about wether there is any difference between getting a VPS plan (like that from jumpline) and a shared plan (like that from hostgator) for the purposes of hosting multiple domains.
It seems that for vps I have to create a "subdirectory" to create a new account for domain name. Plus the emails are all the same (so for example if I create joe@domain1.com and I have domain2.com registerd, joe@domain2.com will also work with the same username password).
On the shared side of things - I also do not get a very high level of isolation. Not like with reseller WHM package anyways. BUT the resellers lack the basic ssh access (at least the most favourables I looked at).
So i was wandering if anyone out there who is doing small-time part work and sells personal/business websites to clients knows which way is it better to go.
To get a VPS account and keep on creating subdirectories for each separate client (and hope they don't use the "other" domain names in the emails) OR get the shared account that allows unlimited domans OR something else.
I also forgot to mention that my budget does not extend beyond $20/month.
Both are running exactly the same stuff - Centos 5.3, cPanel/WHM, etc One domain (example.com), already pointing to first server (server1) Nameservers (ns1 & ns2.example.com) are set up in WHM of server1.
I then bought a second VPS (server2). I want to be able to set up subdomains of my main domain (sub.example.com) on the second VPS. I also want my existing nameservers to work for server2.
This way, I can provide subdomain packages to people and utilise both servers, and I can also provide the same nameservers to people regardless of the server they are on.
I went to the clustering section of the WHM's, I enabled, and I can see server1 in the WHM of server2, and the other way around. I selected Sync Changes under DNS Role. However I don't think that's really done anything.
How can I get this to work? Sorry if I've written it in a confusing manner.
I wanted to host multiple domains on the same hosting a/c and so I bought GoDaddy's economy hosting which supported multiple domains. But now when I try to add multiple domains, it displays this message -
"The domain path cannot be modified for economy hosting accounts."
That means all domains point to the same folder/content which is not what I wanted. So is there way to put a .htacess file or make an index.php file which can read where the request comes from and automatically redirect them to appropriate folders???
I have 3 ips to be used, I have used 2 for the nameserver in registrar.
I have total of 3 ips, which means, I have to place my domains via dns template to the server. Actually, I have set all my domains to a single ip, leaving the 2 ip's which I used for the nameserver to be empty (doin nothin :p)
SO, can I use 3 ips, for the 3 sites, ip1 for site1, ip2 for site2, and ip3 for site3 ? Will this make any difference in the site load and time?
I am sure they have to b set up with dns templates which I can do Wanted to know what would be the end result of my query
I'm doing some work for a friend of mine, and he's requested that he be able to have multiple domains refer to the same DocumentRoot (have all the domains load the same pages).
I run several sites and am wanting to setup several more. Currently I have two shared plans, but I don't like how the add-on domains are affected by the main domain (e.g. addon.main.com on 4## and 5## pages).
Is going reseller the easiest way for me to have these domains not affected by each other (a separate cpanel each)?
Finally, I don't use a lot of resources so are there actually reseller plans out there with lower prices (and lower resources too).
