What are anonymous hostnames and nameservers?
They seem to be quite popular among the larger hosts. Is it simply a non-branded domain, not associated with the business name/main domain itself.
I take it, this generic domain that is used for the anonymous hostname/nameservers is not hosted to any site?
There is Server US. it's hostname is US.domain.com
the ns pointing to it are ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com
There is Server UK. it's hostname is UK.domain.com
the ns pointing to it are ns3.domain.com and ns4.domain.com
however, the UK.domain.com resolves simply because I added a dns zone on Server US, which points to the IP of UK. If server US goes down, UK.domain.com is unaccessible, so UK VPS is accessible only via IP.
How can I fix this issue and make the second server respond on that UK.domain.com URL without depending on the US server?
It's possible to allow certain IP ranges to access certain ports by adding to allow_hosts.rules, but is it possible to allow certain domain names?
Eg: I want to allow all users of bell.ca to access port 41125-41130, and block all others from inbound/outbound.
I am wondering is there a possibility for below:
I have a established host on a dedicated company1 like hostname1.mydomain.com and I want to get another dedicated server from company2 like hostname2.mydomain.com
Is this possible? Like sharing the same domain with different hostnames? Does whm allows this? And how they negotiate each other?
I can't seem to find if there is a way to specify what hostname is used for a service on a service node. For instance, if one creates a service node named web01, and makes it a DNS service node, is web01 what will be used when creating NS records in zone files, or is there a way to change that?
The ppademo.com site is offline (and was unlicensed again last week).
I got a new server from uk2, has whm but i just couldnt get the server to work, i changed hostname and made nameservers etc but couldnt get it to work i pointed ips to hostnames and everything no response, domain is www.uploadline.com ns1.uploadline.com and ns2.uploadline.com i havent used cpanel for 2 years now and i used to have alot of experience in it before these days i just stick to directadmin and other control panels.
I just need to ask a few questions and i need help too to get my server up and running as im losing alot of time and money here
i remembered when i changed hostname on whm i need to run this through ssh:
/usr/local/cpanel/cpkeyclt
So i did, and this was the result:

Will the nameservers work if the nameservers are pointed to a parking page?
For example:
I need to change my nameservers to ns1.mywebhost.com and ns2.mywebhost.com
(nameservers are made up)
These nameservers are from my web hosting service provider. When I visit the nameservers, it shows up a parking page from a domain parking service (let's say NameDrive parking page)
Will the nameservers function correctly and will my websites work? I have this question because usually the nameservers that I use, they always point to a CP page or something like that rather than a parking page.
Will domains still function if they have differing nameservers at the registry from what they do on the server side? i.e. domain1.com pointing to ns1/2.example.com at the registry but on the server the DNS zone has it as ns1/2.example2.com, baring in mind both sets of nameservers are pointing at the same server.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have purchased a reseller account from www.reseller.net (not real names) They provide me with ns1.reseller.net and ns2.reseller.net, as well as the two associated ip addresses. They tell me to use these 2 ip addresses to set up my own custom nameservers.
I want my own nameservers - ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. Tech support at www.reseller.net tells me thay cannot help me. They tell me to go to the company where I purchased and manage the domain name www.mydomain.com.
I do, and find the control panel page where I -CREATE NAME SERVER-. This I do, and I use the above mentioned ip addresses. This seems to work. When I go back to this control panel page the next day, the entries I made are still there. Yet, I cannot "ping" my nameservers.
Now what? I have tried "google-ing" and not being a super-tech, I get lost. It appears that I must make some changes in my WHM, (I have a WHM...), but I have no access to any "Server" settings.
I have another reseller account with a totally different company, and when I asked them to set up custom nameservers, they just "did it" for me. Again, the hosting company was not related to the domain registering company.
I am experimenting with setting up my first unmanaged dedicated server.
I have directadmin as a cp.
I have 5 separate IP's available to me.
I went to my domain registrar and set up host as ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com using my first two IP's that are available.
My question now is what is the best way to use my three remaining IP's? Do I set them up as completely different domain nameservers ie. ns1.otherdomain.com etc.? Out of those three, I thought you need two IP's per nameserver domain? Is that wrong thinking?
I don't want any relationship shown in a whois dns info between the ips.

If i create a vps using openvz and use a new ip for that vps e.x:
123.456.789.0
What nameservers i must use to point my domain to that vps?
NS1 <--- 123.456.789.0
NS2 <--- ?
how can i run some VPS(diferent ip's) in a DedicatedServer with same nameserver.
example:
all sites in VPS1 using ip: 10.10.10.1
all sites in VPS2 using ip: 10.10.10.2
all sites in VPS3 using ip: 10.10.10.3
all in a DedicatedServer
now i want using ns1.dns.com for all sites.
xen/openvz on Centos/RHLE used.
I recently bourght a dedicated server, and found out I don't know whta my name servers are, the company gave me there nameservers, I was fine, but when I input my name servers in namecheap or godaddy ect, I get this:

There is some problem updating the NameServers
The problem is: nRRPResponseCode 541
I just have a question on setting up Nameservers in WHM. Is it necessary to add an "A" entry to the name servers, and if so, do I need to do so on both nameservers, or just the first one?
ns1.mysite.com
ns2.mysite.com
What's the reason/ necessarily for adding a A entry to a nameserver, and can it be skipped?
hello
i really rely on your expertise guys please help me!
a cpanel server A has some domains on host 1
a new cpanel server B is set ready for migration on host B.
the greek registrar i use,
by accident (As they say) switched ips for my nameservers from A to B and the migration has not been done!!!!
can i set up a record or something on server B to forward all traffic back to server A ???????
Sorry i'm not a network expert. That's why i'm here
thanks

I have a domain at Enom and I have a use for it which would require it being assigned an IP address rather than nameservers in order to reach the server it would be hosted on - I have 2 questions please:-
Would doing it this way bring any penalties in search engine ranking, PR or any other problems?
How would it best be done at Enom?
i have started moving domains from Cpanel/whm server to my HSphere server that uses a new nameserver, but have come up against problem with the new NameServer.
When moving .biz .info i get error about nameserver not being resgistered, after doing some seaching it appears that some domain resgistrars (in this case 123reg) are starting to enforce a security feature whereby All registrars need the name server registered before you can point any domain name to the name server.
Diggin further i found this at stargate.com which where i have my HSphere service domain:
1.
Registering a Child Name Server as mentioned above is just the first step. The Child Name Server needs to be registered at the Registry to only serve as a non-authoritative Record should your Child Name Server not be resolvable in some extreme condition.
This Name Server would start working only after you have added an Address (A) Record or Canonical (CNAME) Record for this Name Server within the Zone for the domain name (of this Child Name Server) at your own DNS Server, thus binding the NS to the IP Address.
Examples
i. If you are running your own DNS Servers then you would need to add a Zone for the domain name your-domain-name.com and create an A Record like
ns1.your-domain-name.com. 38400 IN A 111.222.333.444
ii. If you wish to simply point your Name Servers to another Name Servers, you may add a CNAME Record to those (while ensuring that those Name Servers have an A Record within the Zone created for your Name Servers as well).
ns1.your-domain-name.com. 38400 IN CNAME ns1.service-provider.com
Also at ns1.service-provider.com there should be an Zone for your-domain-name.com with an A Record for ns1.your-domain-name.com, making it authoritative for resolving your-domain-name.com.
In most cases your ISP would have already created the above for you and you need not bother about the same.
My service domain, and one i am using for nameservers, HSphere dns settings looks like
Name TTL Class Type Data Action
cp.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.83 Click to delete
ns1.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.84 Click to delete
ns2.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.85 Click to delete
web.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.86 Click to delete
mail.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.87 Click to delete
mysql.mydomain.net 86400 IN A 85.264.15.88 Click to delete
So from what i tell i have furfilled critria?
I have to say i am a little confused over this!
I am thinking that maybe i have to make some changes at stargate.com or maybe get my co-lo provider to make changes?
I was looking for a tool that would allow me to enter a Nameserver, and it would then return the Domains that use that Nameserver in its DNS.
I see domaintools.com has a tool that does it, but it costs. Is there a free one available?
I have created 2 nameservers and assigned unique IPs to them and I have my domain dhingana.org using them. Everything was fine until today when suddenly I cannot reach dhingana.org.
I restarted BIND, Apache and even my server but still the same issue. I checked that Apache is still running.
My DNS reports for dhingana.org says:
A timeout occurred getting the NS records from your nameservers! None of your nameservers responded fast enough. They are probably down or unreachable. I can't continue since your nameservers aren't responding. If you have a Watchguard Firebox, it's due to a bug in their DNS Proxy, which must be disabled (31 Jul 2006 UPDATE: several years after being informed of this, there is a rumor that there is a fix that allows the Watchguard DNS proxy to work).
I have added a new ip for my nameserver3 and now it is pingable... But when I try to point a domain it says something like "check SOA record for your nameserver3" etc...
How can I add SOA records for this new nameserver via whm or?
Just got a new dedicated box (Fedora 5/CPanel/WHM). I didn't realize I had to set up my own nameservers with it. Definitely not a subject I am well versed in. Anyone know where I can find out how to get started?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a question on how to set up (clone) two nameservers.
I have two VPS' with two IPs that are totaly independent of each other. Both running ispCP with Apache2, mail, ftp, mysql, AND bind9 as DNS managment.
So. I want these two server to be as independent as they are, BUT they should share NameServers with each other.
Something like this:
host1:
ns1.domain.com = host1
ns2.domain.com = host2
host2:
ns1.domain.com = host1 (or host2?? = inverted)
ns2.domain.com = host2 (or host1?? = inverted)
A lot of domains are running more then one NameServer, but I could not find any tutorial on how to "clone" the NS from one to an other. Is it enough to just add some kind of "transfer to IP setting" in bind, or do I have to have scripts that download settings and files from one server to an other regularly?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe just got a dedicated server, my first time messing with anything dedicated though I've had WHM before. I have 4 domains I'd like to setup to point to this. But I'd prefer our company URL to host the name servers. Domains are registered through enom who will allow me to setup the name servers.
I'm trying to use the "Nameserver IPs" section in WHM to setup the name servers but it just sits and "works" but never actually finishes. Does my company URL need to be pointing to the server before doing this?
Am just wondering is it possible to have more than 4 nameservers in cpanel.
I know in server configuration you can add the 4. Is it possible to add more?
Recently we add a new server,so we register ns3 and ns4 to 2 new ips,of the new server.
Then,in the old server,we set ns3 and ns4 as A records to the new ips.
Doing a dns reverse to ns3 and ns4 they report the correct ips. BUT When make a dns reverse for the nameservers ips,it makes a loop.....
How do I trace name servers back to the web hosting company?
There is a website that is sharing my copyrighted information and I want to contact their hosting company.
They are using nameservers
NS.theirwebsite.com
N2.theirwebsite.com
Anyone have a tool for this?
i installed on my server csf firewall.
After review security server.shows message error the Sections of warning .
This indeed is a topologically error.
How is this to repair and correct.
Check nameservers
Code:
At least one of the configured nameservers:
ns1.X***********
ns2.X***********
should be located in a topologically and geographically dispersed location on the Internet - See RFC 2182 (Section 3.1)
