Using My Web Server As Its Own Nameserver
I use my web server as its own nameserver. I know the potential draw backs of this, but it works fine for me.
I have recently moved server and need to configure my new server to work as my nameserver.
I use one of the server administration companies people talk about here, but they seem to be unable to configure this for me. As a result my server is down (can't be reached due to nameserver issues).
Does anyone know off hand how I can do this myself?

Nameserver Setup On New Server
I've just installed whm on my new server at leaseweb and wanted to know what nameservers I should put down in whm? Is it ns1.localdomain.com or ns1.leaseweb.nl? I suppose I can't set nameservers for my own domain since I've only got one Ip and I would need 2?

Should I Add 2nd Nameserver IP On Server
My provider just gave 1 IP and to be use as shared IP for every accounts created in the server. I also assigned that IP for my nameserver ns1.domain.com at my registrar. I was instructed also by my provider to use the next IP for the second nameserver which I also created at my registrar and created dns zone at the whm. All of the domains using that two IPs are working but I dont know why when I ping the second dns its not working. from Intodns.com its also showing nameserver 2 as an error.. My question is, do I need to add the second IP on the server/whm? you see when I go to WHM and click Show IP Address Usage I only see the first IP shared to all other domains. Somehow I'm expecting to see the second IP on the screen. Anyone can enlighten me? the server I got should have been a full management but my provider is somehow responding so slow.

Nameserver On Server W/o Control Panel
I'm used to setting up the nameserver using a control panel (directadmin) but how do you do it on a server without a control panel? So far I figured that you just set up 2 ip addresses in your registrar to use as nameservers and then edit /etc/named.conf and put the path to the zone file and of course set up the zone file /var/named/nameofzonefile.db then service named restart are these steps correct? am I missing anything?

Domain Name Server/Nameserver/host Name Issue
Well, the ns1.NAME.com and ns2.NAME.com is done. It works and links to the right place. My host name is "dog.NAME.com" and links to the main server IP (example 1.1.1.1). So when i try to do this: 1.1.1.1/~NAME, it redirects me to dog.NAME.com which is good but then dog.NAME.com can't be found. Server not found is the exact error i get. The IP works. i don't know what i am doing wrong. My host said they will charge me to fix it, so i am relaying on you guys to save me money.

Dedicated Server Nameserver And Named DNS
I purchased a new dedicated server out of Canada and received my login and IPs. I added them, setup WHM, updated WHM to newest version along with PHP 5.25, Mysql 5.0 and set it up to the best of my knowledge and transferred all my accounts from my previous semi-dedicated WHM. I have my own nameservers with Tucows register and transferred the new IPs on Friday at 2:00 pm CST. It is now sunday at 6pm CST and they seem to have propagated i think, but DNSreports still show errors on lucentone.com and ns1.lucentone.com. I checked all files in /etc folder and even did the rndc fix for WHM and Restarted Bind. i went back in after contacting datacenter to ask them to help me and they dont know what could be wrong. I have no managed support on my Box but i know some linux and CPanel but never setup DNS, IPs and a Cpanel from scratch install with the zone files, this was my first time. Frustrated with this whole thing and staying up until 4am trying to fix these problems for the past 2 days. i finally got fed up as all my customers accounts are down and decided to do another updating of WHM and found that now my Dig has authorative records, but still DNSrepot and others are showing still problems with my nameservers. There has to be something still wrong. I dont know if i have the localhost set correctly as i have also added a S01.lucentone.com for my server host. Maybe this is the problem, but i have never done this before. Can anyone help me with this? If anyone could help me, this would be much appreciated. i am about to pull my hair out. :-) Here is my Dig now:; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> lucentone.com @ns1.lucentone.com ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 18477 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;lucentone.com.

Can A Nameserver Be Specified In An A Record By Another Nameserver
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 ;; global options: printcmd . 220048 IN NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ........................................... . 220048 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 228 bytes from 66.63.160.2#53(66.63.160.2) in 1 ms net. 172800 IN NS J.GTLD-SERVERS.net. ........................................... net. 172800 IN NS G.GTLD-SERVERS.net. ;; Received 497 bytes from 128.8.10.90#53(D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) in 74 ms host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme0.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme1.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme2.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme3.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme4.host.com. ;; Received 225 bytes from 192.48.79.30#53(J.GTLD-SERVERS.net) in 125 ms www.host.com. 1800 IN CNAME host.com. host.com. 75 IN A 60.55.55.55 host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme2.host.com. host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme1.host.com. host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme5.host.com. host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme0.host.com. host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme4.host.com. host.com. 86400 IN NS nsdme3.host.com. ;; Received 276 bytes from 123.123.123.123#53(nsdme0.host.com) in 68 ms BUT, if I lookup the nameserver (ns1.host.com) I get: Code: [root@lax1 ~]# dig +trace ns1.host.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> +trace ns1.host.com ;; global options: printcmd . 218964 IN NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ........................................... . 218964 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 228 bytes from 66.63.160.2#53(66.63.160.2) in 1 ms net. 172800 IN NS H.GTLD-SERVERS.net. ........................................... net. 172800 IN NS G.GTLD-SERVERS.net. ;; Received 497 bytes from 202.12.27.33#53(M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) in 115 ms ns1.host.com. 172800 IN A 60.55.55.55 host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme0.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme1.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme2.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme3.host.com. host.com. 172800 IN NS nsdme4.host.com. ;; 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.

Nameserver/IP
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?

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.

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?

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.

I has a reseller plan and I was using one of my domains as nameserver. I mean ziafat.com was my nameserver and one of my sites. 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.

Nameserver
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?

Nameserver With Only 1 IP Address
So we just got our VPS. The host has only given us 1 IP for running our own DNS. They provided a 2nd nameserver + IP to use at the registrar level but since this name server does not match or domain name, the registrar obviously cannot let us register this. Is there an issue if we set ns1 to our IP and ns2 like so even though the 2nd name server is not registered at the registrar level? For instance: ns1.ourdomain.com (our IP) ns2.somedomainthehostprovided.com (which cannot be registered at the registrar level)

I surfed and read for hours and got more confused the more I read. I finally set up my accounts with the corresponding records as follows: *.mysite.com CNAME mysite.com mysite.com A 123.123.123.123 mysite.com MX (10) 1mail.mysite.com www.mysite.com A 123.123.123.123 My questions are: 1 - Is this pretty much right? 2 - should I have a second MX recored like: mysite.com MX (10) 2mail.mysite.com I'm using 4 nameservers >> ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, ns4.everydns.net,

Nameserver Entries
On of my client has registered his domain (austasiapackaging.com) with BlueCentral.com . BlueCentral also provides them with mail service. Now I have to provide web hosting for this domain. Should I change the nameservers entries or should I change the A Record? Or do I change them both?

DNS Nameserver
I have just gotten a dedicated server this month. CentOS with DirectAdmin (thanks to WHT for recommending this). My problem is, I cant seem to "make" a nameserver and get it to work? I have attached some .jpg. screenprints which I hope will help resolve my problem. 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 Setup
I just purchased my first dedicated server. It comes with WHM 11.2.0 / CentOS Enterprise 5 i686. Could someone please refer me to a guide to setup the nameservers? I've tried to follow some guides i found on google but still I can't get websites to resolve. How do I know my nameservers are working? When I ping them they display the proper IP's and when I enter them in a browser it goes to the cpanel default site that it should but when I park domains to them, they don't work. Could someone please maybe give me a guide for WHM 11.2.0? Also, some of the guides said to modify /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nameserverips. I did modfiy /etc/resolv.conf to my information. If it would make it easier, pretend i'm trying to add ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com as nameservers with the hostname server.domain.com and domain name domain.com. I want ns1.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.47 and ns2.domain.com on ip 74.47.74.48. What would /etc/resolv.conf look like after and what would /etc/nameserverips look like after? And what are the steps to take in WHM to set it up?

Custom Nameserver
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?

Windows Media Server & Web Server
I have a company that wants to stream some live events via Windows Media Encoder/Windows Media Player. I believe the best route is to use a WMS, stream to the WMS, then the CDN would pull from there for events. Can someone help me explain a Windows Media Server versus a web server? Can you host web sites on a WMS? Is WMS just an extension to a regular Windows 2003 server?

Web Hosting On Same Server As Game Server
Does a typical LAMP setup for a high enough traffic site(s) take enough resources to affect the performance of a game server? (we'll say 1million page views per day) I'm speaking of say, 2MB of ram, dual xeon 2.8 type machine, with IDE drives. Nothing too fancy. 1 milion page views per day may be pushing it, so what about say, 200 per day? Just wondering if anyone has a setup like this and how it fairs out at the game server end. I'm thinking of moving my websites over to my game server + add more sites over time, but don't want it to lag the game. I know as a fact bandwidth would not be the issue, I'm thinking more ram/cpu. The game I host (Ultima Online) uses very little bandwidth with even 30+ people online. I use less then 1% of my link capacity at most times. I've seen it spike to 5% and that's most likely when I was downloading data.

Network Web Server And Database Server Together
I am going to setup our new database server (call it beta) in our data center. Previously we only had one server (call it alpha) which was web, email, ftp, dns, and database. Beta is taking over alphas database duties. We have a Sonicwall router/firewall as our main connection access point. I am trying to decicde if we should simply connect alpha and beta together locally via a gigabit crossover cable, or if I should connect beta into our sonicwall router/firewall. Beta does not need to be outside accessible at all. So if I connect beta to the sonicwall I simply would not open any ports. What do you guys think is best for performance and the overall right way to do it.

DB Server And Web Server In Different Data Centers
DHas anyone got experience of having a web server and db server setup where the servers are in different datacenters? Is this a viable solution or would the performance of sites suffer too much due to the added latency? The only other problem I can think of is additional bandwith usage but that's not a major worry. Reason I ask is beacause I've found and excellent deal for a DB server and would like to keep my current server for the front end..

Media Server Or Web Server + NAS
I currently use a Dedicated Server: Quad Core, 8GB Ram, 3TB HDD as a Media server which streams video clips etc... on my websites. But Im moving my sites to a UK colo, I have been advised that its better to have Multiple Web Servers connected to a NAS / Storage Server? As I dont want to have multiple servers doing seperate jobs I want 1 cluster e.g. Web Servers + Load Balancers + Storage + SQL I Purchased a HP StorageWorks NAS 1200s 1TB LINK: [url] Will this do the job? Or should I use this as backup storage and get something else?

How To Setup A WEB Server Which Talks With DB A Server
I have been shooting away a lot of questions on these forums lately, but you guys have been very helpful. Thanks. My problem is this. We are going to get rackspace. Then we are going to purchase two servers. The first (WEB) is a httpd, dns, ftp, smtp, pop3 server. The second (DB) is purely a database server which will run mysql and mssql. The first server (WEB) runs a asp/php applications that need to connect and talk with the database (DB) server. I was thinking of only connection the WEB server to the physical internet through the co-location drop. Then connecting the WEB and DB server directly via a CAT6 cable. Both servers will have gigabit NIC cards. Then in theory in the asp/php applications all I have to do, is point them to the local ip address of the DB server as this should work. Is this a good solution? Will speed be an issue, the delay from talking to the WEB server and talking to the DB server? I was thinking this is more secure, because the WEB server is the only machine physically connected to the internet, the DB server is not. Though, is it true, if hackers compromise the web server, they then would be able to compromise the DB server as well via the WEB server? I am open to suggestions though, and better ways of setting this up.

Remote File Server And Web Server
I own a file hosting site. The site is powered by 2 servers - 1 front end web and database server, and 1 where all the files are stored. I'm facing a problem that uploading and downloading often failed. Connections to mysql would timeout. Has it to do with mysql settings or because the file server is located at a distance from the sql server? (my.cnf on the sql server) [mysqld] skip-locking skip-innodb max_user_connections=6000 max_connections=6000 datadir=/var/lib/mysql socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

If I Use My Domain As A Nameserver Can It Still Be The Website
Basically as the title says I have a domain thedrunkengamer.net that is my main domain and website, I just got a dedicated server and in the startup steps in WHM im at the Nameserver setup screen. If i go to GoDaddy and register ns1.thedrunkengamer.net and ns2.thedrunkengamer.net as nameservers can I still use www.thedrunkengamer.net as my website? If so by doing this will it impact the performance of my website at all? Should I register a seperate domain to use for nameservers?

Hostname, Nameserver WHM
I have a dedicated server with WHM 11.23.2. I am in the process of "attempting" to change the hostname for a group of websites and also the nameservers. Let's say for practical senses that these were the old details: Hostname: abc.example.com Nameservers: ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com I changed in the following sections of WHM.. Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Hostname to 123.newsite.com and then... Networking Setup -> Hostname to 123.newsite.com and then... Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Primary Nameserver to ns1.newsite.com and then... Server Configuration -> Basic cPanel/WHM Setup -> Secondary Nameserver to ns2.newsite.com. Then... Networking Setup -> Nameserver IPs. I deleted the old ones and created the two new ones: ns1.newsite.com and ns2.newsite.com. I have double checked that this information is still there. Obviously newsite.com is listed as a domain/account. However, example.com was naturally the first one associated with this server. I performed a server reboot, apache reset etc. This was three days ago. I assumed it had all changed over. Until I (stupidly) remembered that I hadn't changed the goDaddy information to point to these new nameservers. I panicked thinking all the sites (six of them) would be down. However, they weren't. When I tried to change the nameserver information for a domain in goDaddy it came back with errors... it would only accept ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com. So, I did a tracert to the IP address of the server and indeed it comes back as abc.example.com. Every domain is associated with that static IP. I can't even find anywhere where abc.example.com is listed within the WHM. All the new values are listed... so, where is it pulling this from? I thought the reset of the server (as a graceful reboot) would resolve this issue.. it hasn't. I've rebooted twice and awaited the thirty minutes for everything to get back online. No success.
