The Abbott Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I figured I would ask this question here as I have been hogging up support time and this is not that important yet. I have been trying to set up my nameservers for my reseller account and just dont seem to be ableto get it to work. Any suggestions or help ideas or even a link to something that will explain it would be a great help. I am in no hurry as I am at work right now and really wont be able to do anything for a while let alone I haven't even opened for business yet. LOL. Thanks for any and all help.

Michael D. Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 You need to go to your domain registrar and add child nameservers or host records to your domain. It depends on who your registrar is as to what it is called and where you will find it in the control panel. What you would be creating is a ns1. record and a ns2. record at your domain that points to the two nameserver IPs that were given to you in your welcome email. After having done this you will be able to use them as nameservers for your sites and for your clients' sites. And you have not been hogging support time - it's not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working with the domain ddhwebdesign.com. It is registered with you. I keep getting data invalid rejected. I know I must be doing something wrong but alas can not seem to figure out the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ThanksDan Haddaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael D. Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've created ns1 and ns2 records for you and all you need to do is point your domain(s) to them and they will resolve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernix Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Okay so that welcome email we received that has the name server IP addresses, we just setup ns1 and ns2 with those ip addresses and then put that info in the default zone file template for our customers so that each account that gets setup will say our nameservers?

Michael D. Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 We can change the setting on your reseller account to make it the default in new DNS Zones for your clients. You need to make sure you add the ns1 and ns2 as a "host record" or "child nameserver" or "private nameserver" (the term varies from registrar to registrar) and point them to the IPs in the welcome email.

supernix Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 I didn't know how that would affect the customers. I didn't want to make a ns1 and ns2 only to find out that their domains wouldn't resolve since they were not authorized for managing the domain. Kind of like editing in the WHM backend would do no good if the files being edited were on a completely different server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernix Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Well I am just saying that simply because I list a name server in their setup information does not actually mean it would contain their zone file data. Nor would they answer as authoritative for the zone in question. Kind of like a cache poisoning situation. Please have patience with me it has been around 10 years since I studied DNS zone management and back then they were using BIND 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
