Registering Nameserver And A Record
Feb 4, 2008
I always thought that i can just go and point nsa.mydomain.com and nsb.mydomain.com A hosts to my personal dns server from my mydomain.com's dns service and use them anydomain.com's name servers.
But today i've been trying to setup another domain (mynewdomain.com) with a different registar and decided to use ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as name servers and setup A host names. when i try to add name servers ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com to mynewdomain.com i get error saying name servers not registered. i could only do it by going mydomain.com's current registrar and add name sevrer records ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com.
now, i dont want to know why this is but my question is if i register ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com at my registrar , would they resolve like a current A host record? do i need to add a records at my dns service for those name servers too? if they do resolve without adding A records, instead of usiong dns service why i dont just add more nameserver records on my registar and use them like a records?

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

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.

I have a dedicated server with Hostgator and I want to point img1.smackjeeves.com to img1.smackjeeves.com on my Dreamhost server. Dreamhost tells me what nameservers to use for smackjeeves.com, but my Hostgator server is already serving as a nameserver. Can I have my main DNS record point to Dreamhost's DNS only for img1? Or do I need to have my img1 mimic Dreamhost's DNS for img1?

I have a domain, lets call it mydomain.com, and I used it as the server domain on an old server I had and I setup ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com and added them to the registry with ip addresses.
I now want to use the same domiain for a new server but will I be able to use ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com as these are still in the registry and pointing to the old IP addresses?

How would I go about registering a domain name that's expired about a week ago? It expired but isn't completely open, if you know what I mean.
And is there a way to pre-order it so that when it goes on the open market I automatically get it?

I want to register a domain from some organization. During the registration the registrar asks me to provide a primary DNS with an IP address and a secondary DNS with an IP address.
Because I have already a website with a godaddy hosting, I want that may new domain also points to my godaddy hosting. So I have to provide the DNS of my godaddy hosting to the domain registration company.
But my question is; Which IP address do they require? Do they ask me the IP address of my DNS’s (NS43.DOMAINCONTROL.COM, NS44.DOMAINCONTROL.COM) or the IP address of the server on which my website is running.

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?

I just moved my site from a shared host to a VPS with PhotonVPS.
I forwarded the name servers at my registrar, GoDaddy.
However, when I look at my INTODNS report, I am getting all sorts of nameserver errors:
[url]
Is this normal while the changes propogate? Or did I mess something up, because I also cannot access my VPS cpanel now.

Have you come across this problem where you change the NameServer IP in '/etc/nameserverips' but the change does not reflect , instead it reverts to the old IP?
Doing the following fixed the issue for me.
Disable whois lookups for the nameserver ip manager via in WHM>Tweak Settings

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 did ping the nameservers,
ns1.mydomain.com [130.74.135.102]
ns2.mydomain.com [66.21.114.11]
And this is when I added a new domain in Cpanel.
Using nameservers with the following IPs: 66.21.113.11,66.21.114.11 Bind reconfiguring on serverprovider using rndc
Created DNS entry for mydomain.com
Should it really be 2 different nameserver IPs?

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.

I'm setting up a dedicated server at a co-location and they keep asking me to provide 2 nameservers, such as:
ns1.yourdomain.com
ns2.yourdomain.com
But they won't explain any further than that. Do I make names up or are these the nameservers associated with my domain name at godaddy.com?

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.

I'm uploading my files to this new server and will switch over to it later.. I alredy know how to change the Nameserver at registrar...
My question is that how I should name the Nameserver on this new server?
Because my old server has the name of following Nameserver;
---------------------
NS1.MYSITE.COM
NS2.MYSITE.COM
---------------------
And my new server has exactly same name as this!!
I went throught WHM and I need to assign IP address to this Nameserver on the new server, and what will happen if I assign this IP address to the same Nameserver as in old server?
In this case,
1) Should I change the name of Nameserver to something else, such as following?
---------------------
NS3.MYSITE.COM
NS4.MYSITE.COM
---------------------
2) Or should I use IP address instead of using this English name?
3) Or should I wait until all the files are uploaded and assign this IP address to this Nameserver on the new box? I wonder what will happen if I do this, because there would be 2 different IP address to the same Nameserver in this earth!

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.

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?

i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...
my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record
can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?
this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator

Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.
We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.
Our setup is like so:
User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.
Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com
Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.
how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..

I would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.
But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?
Quote:
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
or
Quote:
v=spf1 a mx ~all
If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?
I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]
