I just ordered a dedicated server from WebNX and I got 5 IPs, I assigned 1st 2 IPS to my server ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com
Now I want to setup other 2 IPs shared for resellers accounts, so each reseller can have ns1.resellerdomain.com & ns2.resellerdomain.com
how can this be done?
what changes we are supposed to do the server to provide our reseller their own custom nameservers? we do have management companies hired for issues but i really feel i should know this too.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having some issues with custom nameservers on my Cpanel VPS.
I've setup Custom nameservers for my resellers after getting some advice from WHT however no my resellers seem to be having DNS issues all of the time when using the custome nameservers.
If a reseller uses our main Nameservers then everything seems to work fine, its just the custom ones that have issues.
The custom name servers are setup as follows.
Main Nameservers
N1.Domainname.co.uk - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
N2.Domainname.co.uk - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2
Custom Nameserver:
DNS Zone added for
NS1.RESELLERDOMAIN.COM - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX1
NS2.RESELLERDOMAIN.COM - IP XXX.XXX.XXX.XX2
DNS zones point to same IPs a Main Nameservers.
Issues include problems with reg companies, Cron Jobs failing when looking for the server etc...
with most dns being able to be handled by the domain owner through register/godaddy, etc. are resellers/hosters still finding they need to run their own name servers? or do you tell customer the IP to change their A record to? doesn't seem like running your own dns server is such a requirement like years ago was.

For example if the default is 35, set it to 75. This is common -- often we have customers who send larger quantities of messages than the average user.
Login as a reseller with access to manage the email account and attempt to change any *other* value. For example, you could completely ignore the outgoing mail messages value and change just the Auto-Reply value
Plesk refuses to allow the change and kicks me back to the first tab with the following error:
The value must be in the range 0..35. Only the Plesk administrator can adjust this setting.Click to expand...
We 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?
(x.com = replacement for my actual domain)
I am currently in the process of transferring my sites to a new host (Liquidweb). On my old server I used my host's nameservers, whereas Liquidweb STRONGLY recommends (two or three times in the "account info" email) that I create custom ones on their server.
So for one of my domains, I created an account in WHM, created ns1 and ns2 nameservers in WHM, created the nameservers for the domain (in Tucows/Opensrs) and changed the domain to use it's own nameservers. (ie x.com uses ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com) That all seems be working fine now; ie, typing x.com in my browser resolves to the new server.
This would lead me to believe that the new nameservers are ready to use and that I should be able to start using them for other domains too. But when I try to change the nameservers for any of my other domains in Opensrs I get this message:
"Unable to update nameservers: Nameserver ns1.x.com doesn't exists in the registry"
I would normally assume that the new nameservers just haven't propagated yet. (It's been 24-36 hours since I originally created them in Opensrs.) However, x.com is currently resolving correctly, and it's using ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com ... so why wouldn't I be able to change other domains to also use ns1.x.com & ns2.x.com?
Here's a WHOIS I just ran on completewhois.com for ns1.x.com:[NAMESERVER whois information for NS1.X.COM ] [rs.internic.net] Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to[url] for detailed information. Server Name: NS1.X.COM IP Address: 72.52.###.### Registrar: TUCOWS INC. Whois Server: whois.tucows.com Referral URL: [url] >>> Last update of whois database: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 20:01:24 UTC <<< [whois.biz] Not found: NAMESERVER NS1.X.COM >>>> Whois database was last updated on: Sat Sep 15 00:33:44 GMT 2007 <<<<I don't mind waiting if the nameservers just have to propagate (is that why it says "not found" there?), but if that's the case why is my x.com site already resolving correctly using the new nameservers?! Is it just because its using its own nameservers? (If that makes any sense ...)
I have WHM/CPanel installed, that's what I used to add the nameservers and so on.
I'm trying to configure my newly acquired VPS and am having a hell of a time with it.
I will be hosting several sites on this server, so I've ordered an extra IP so that I can run my own custom nameservers (and Lee doesn't have to bother with adding my domains to his system)
At my registrar, I've created two new nameservers (ns1.thatscriptguy.com and ns2.thatscriptguy.com) and pointed them to my server. I've added the additional IP to the system as eth0:0 and configured the domain. Here is a copy of my /var/named/thatscriptguy.com.hosts
Code:
$ttl 30M
thatscriptguy.com. IN SOA ns1.thatscriptguy.com. kevin.thatscriptguy.com. (

I've got a Domain with Name.com. I have just introduced a new service into my website which is the google @ Doamin.com.
When ever i go to change my MX Records, The name control panel tells me that before i can do that i need to change my Nameservrs to;
NS1.Name.com
NS2.Name.com
NS3.Name.com
NS4.Name.com
But when ever i do that, it ofcorse makes the domain unreachable.
So how can i get it so that I have My custom nameservers
NS1.Fagex.net
NS2.Fagex.net
With these MX Records;

I have a Plesk VPS hosting 2 domains. I would (ideally) like to have both domains have dedicated IPs in addition to custom nameservers (custom to both names... ns1/ns2.domain1 and ns1/ns2.domain2). How many IPs in total would I need for this configuration? 4? How many if only one is dedicated? Or neither is dedicated?

I have a vps
All settings of the custom error page were made ​​and worked correctly, however the next day the setting was lost after reset again and returned to work.
But stopped working again, I use Plesk 11...
I have a Question Regarding nameserver Setup.The VPS has HyperVM + LxAdmin as control panel.I have configured and Update all software packages via ssh. now Http server + mysql is running.
I have 4 IP address, lets assume them as IP1,IP2,IP3,IP4 for simplicity.
IP1 is set Main Ipaddress in hypervm panel.
Then I has setup A records - NS1,NS2 pointing to IP3,IP4 respectively from my domain registrar's control panel.
What else needs to be done before start hosting websites?
I have a website and I wanted to have custom nameservers for it. Such as www.example.com when you whois it'll be like ns1.example.com, etc. Is this possible on shared hosting or do I need to upgrade to VPS?
View 13 Replies View RelatedHow to setup nameservers in SUSE Linux when my server is behind router?
I'd need to setup two nameservers so I could register domains.
NAT IP is the ip shown at whatismyip.com? or is it ip my router gives out eg 192.168.4.103?
I just got a VPS plan for the first time where I want to host several new websites. In the past I've used individual accounts to host a couple of other websites and haven't paid much attention to nameserver setup, just configured at my registrar whatever I was given from the hosting service.
So, I got a brand new domain to act as the host of the rest of the domains I'm setting up: www.example.com.
In the VPS I have setup this one as the default domain for nameservers: ns1.example.com
ns2.example.com
Question 1:
- Can I setup ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com as the nameserververs for www.example.com ? i.e. nameserver is used for the same domain in which it is named. Even if this is possible, is it a good idea or would it be better to host it somewhere else? When I try to define those as the nameservers in Godaddy I get the error message Nameserver not registered. What am I missing?
Other DNS questions
Question 2:
- If I host my nameservers in my VPS, I will need a separate IP for each one (ns1, ns2...and so on). Can I still use those IP's to actually host websites, or do I need additional IP's to host the actual sites? Any value in keeping each IP dedicated to a nameserver?
For example:
IP#1 = used for ns1
IP#2 = used for ns2
IP#1 = used for website 1
IP#2 = used for website 2
Question 3:
- Are DNS backup services valuable if I host my own nameservers? Any suggestions on good quality providers? Price not an issue.
Question 4:
- If I used DNS backup services for example.com will that apply to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com which I used for my VPS? and therefore will be applicable to other domains I host? Does this make sense? Or would I need a separate backup for each domain I host? Can I use one backup for multiple domains?
Question 5:
- What are the drawbacks of hosting multiple sites under the same IP? I control all sites under these IPs
Question 6:
- Can somebody recommend a good resource to learn how IP, DNS, nameservers, etc work? Any book, paid website, video... anything ? While there's a ton of info on the web, all is scattered and none seems to be too detailed enough for somebody starting to learn about this.
Is there a way to use ns1/ns2.yourhostdomain.com for not only your shared hosting clients but also for your linux AND windows 2003 dedicated server clients (or vps)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about setting up a Shared SSL and would like to know, what the best way, is out of the 2.
1. Set it up and then give space on the account so it would be [url]
Or
2. Set it up so they use [url]
Pros and Cons
Way 1: If I set it up this way, I will need to setup each FTP account in cPanel manually from what I can see, which maybe a problem in the future.
Way 2: I think I would need 'PHP open_basedir Protection' turned off for this account for it to work.
how you setup shared customers under WHM?
1) create a reseller account then set the shared customer under the reseller's account?
or
2) simply create the shared account under root account?
I usualy do it under root account...
We Host a small number of webistes, only those that we have actually developed for clients. We have a standalone windows 2003 server. We have always skirted round the shared ssl space by just having a seperate ssl for any client that needs it, but now i want to know how to set this up, I know how to install certs in IIS im just not sure how shared space would work
We use FTP isolation mode on our server so everyones folder is under wwwrootlocaluser directory,
Can someone explain to me how shared space works and the best way to set it up ad provide access.
I've trawled the sitepoint forums but haven't found anything relating to this subject. I'm hoping someone out there has found themselves in a similar situation.
As a brief summary, I work as a full time web designer for a company but also run my own web design business in my spare time. Within the next year I plan to go freelance which will hopefully leave with some spare time to learn dynamic web design as well as offer clients domain registration and hosting services.
As a web designer, my knowledge of hosting is not that great, but I intend to learn. Currently, I work with a guy who sorts all this out for me. He has a shared server and pays a certain amount per month and charges me £XX a year per client to setup domains and hosting.
I was wondering how much technical skill I need to set this up myself. With so many hosting packages out there, it's hard to know where to start. Should I buy a dedicated server and host my clients at home or go with the safer option and pay monthly for shared hosting?
Does anyone know if it's possible to setup a proxy server on a shared web host w/ cpanel? I just want to be able to browse using FoxyProxy from the IP of that shared web host.

When a dedicated server reseller is looking for a new partner, what exactly are they looking for? Is price far and away the primary factor? Are there other features/offerings that a reseller is looking for? Are there things that would prevent you from reselling for someone if they didn't offer them?

I have a dedicated business III linux root server (CentOS + Plesk) with 1and1.co.uk and have two domains purchased through them. What I want to do is set up resellers and then the resellers can point their own external domains to their reseller packages. To test the process, this is what I have done...
In the 123-reg.co.uk control panel (where I have my own list of domains), I change the nameservers from ns/ns2.123-reg.co.uk of example.com to ns59/ns60.1and1.co.uk and then proceed to set up web forwarding to my servers IP. Now, after setting up a reseller account through Plesk, I log in and click add the domain example.com. After waiting 24+ hours, when I type in example.com, I get the 'address not found' message through my browser. Clearly something is not set up right.
The only way I can host external domains is to use the domain control panel in the 1and1 screens to transfer an external domain to my root package - not an efficient way of setting up a reseller account.
Does anybody have any guideance on where I am going wrong? Do I need to set up my own nameserver for reseller clients to point their domains to?
