Use DNS service or set up dns in windows2008
I am having all sorts of problems setting DNS in windows server 2008 standard edition. Should I just use the DNS service I 've been using from DynDns or do I have to set up my own DNS server. The dedicated server I am having doesn't inlcude any support: do-it-yourself
We wanted to pass along some information that we received from Parallels today. They are planning on releasing a supported Windows2008 Server package for Virtuozzo "in Q3 of this year".
View 0 Replies View RelatedRight now I've got some users with their own domains. If I ever want to switch hosts, they'll have to switch their DNS around themselves.
I'd prefer to pay for a host-independent DNS so they'll never need to touch their DNS again. Is such a thing available?
I'm wondering is it possible to use RegisterFly's DNS server for my VPS. I only have 1 website on the VPS, but I want to increase the reliability of my site overall and thought if it were possible to give the DNS operations to my Registrar, who probabily really does have seperate DNS servers, this would be a good move. Since it would allow me to disable BIND (freeing up resources/memory), and put the DNS operations to quite possibly a more reliable set of servers (since my 2 DNS servers are actually just my 1 VPS)
What are the Pros/Cons of this type of arrangement?
So I need to know, can it technically be done, and what zones entries I need to create.
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.

I was reading Ross's article on DNS Hosting and was curious to see feedback from others who utilize these services.
We're an UltraDNS customer - Ross refers to them as the ferrari of DNS hosting, which I agree. We've been with them a few years now and I'll admit that we pay a very pretty penny for them to manage our DNS for a few of our larger sites. On the flip side, we've never once had a DNS issue and their support, when we've needed to engage them, has been outstanding.
Are most folks just using their control panel's DNS interface, or is there are larger contigent who are outsourcing their DNS management?

Deleted a domain workspace in Parallels Plesk and now I am getting this error when signing into the panel:Looked at the logs and been trying multiple commands (including the bootstrapper repair etc.)I found the full error from the logs:

I want to point on of my domain name towards another webhosting service. My registrar is different from the webhosting service. I have done it many times, it works perfect except for one. Could the old webhosting service be preventing the domain name from pointing to another one?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a domain name from godaddy and recently got a host plan in hostgator.
As this is the first time I use hosting, it is very confusing how to set it up properly.
So far what I figured out and was able to set is the DNS in godaddy and the add-on domain in hostgator.
So now I was able to point 'MyDomain' to direct to 'hostgatorDomain/MyFolder/' (names just for example).
The problem is that masking is not turned on and who ever clicks 'MyDomain' will get to the right location, but the address will change to 'hostgatorDomain/MyFolder/'.
How to do the set up so the URL will not change?
Recently I've tested the usage of domain keys on my plesk 12 server. The feature works without problems. I'm wondering however if it's possible to activate the domain keys by a service plan or subscription model. If not, for all my domains (65) I've to activate them manually and for each domain iIll create in the future I have to activate it too.

Just had a support chat with my host - the shared server I am on has been very unreliable IMO since I started with them and Im an unhappy bunny. About an hour ago my webmonitor text me to say server down - my monitor does a ping and a content check.
As things now stand the server is pingable but cannot be accessed via http, https, email or FTP so, in my eyes, that makes it down. According to the host as it is pingable it is not down - my argument is I dont connect via ping and nor do my customers so it is down.
Over the last few days WHM service status on the box has shown CPU usage regularly peaking (it sometimes gets to 20.0 on 2 CPU that I have saw) so I do accept that is probably whats causing the issue BUT as I cant access websites is this downtime regardless of the server being pingable?
Also should "good" hosts be monitoring things like CPU usage to be able to proactively manage issues like this or is just checking ping the accepted norm?
Really just interested in peoples opinions BTW, this is just one of a number of instances of downtime and not all of them have been caused by CPU usage etc and I cant be arsed trying to claim money back from them etc so this is not why Im asking - I will just move host to someone more reliable, this is just to satisfy my curiosity.....
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?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??
I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..
anyone?
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?
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.
We need to move around 250 sites from one dedicated server to a new one.
Can you suggest few reliable companies who handles such services?
I remember back a few years ago there had been several companies providing server support only on mostly linux systems. I remember e.g. there had one been where one had to pay a monthly fee and could then send them support requests...
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I have a website that requires a service be installed on the server (Wowza media server). I'm just not sure what I need to be able to do this. The service will get little use overall, but it is required.
From what I can tell this means I need some form of dedicated server, but that is an awfully large jump in cost when I get minimal use out of the service. That said, if it is the only option I will go for it.
So my question is, are there any options aside from dedicated servers that would let me install a service? If not, how cheap do you think I could get a dedicated server for?

View 4 Replies View RelatedBasically I do all my updating now. I have a VPS with...*GASP*...godaddy and their policy is you do all the updating to your server yourself. They will not help you in any way unless you pay their "extra special services team" 80 bucks an hour.
Now, I'm not that much of a server genius, I can find my way around and do certain updates. I'm just tired of doing it and also have a huge fear that I'll screw something up.
Is there a company that will do a full switchover from godaddy to their service, does all the updates and installs programs for a small fee for you? I also need one that is comparable in price. I'm paying 52 bucks a month now.
