Pointing a domain name to a VPS

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I just got a VPS. All the host gave me was an IP address to have the domain point to. Lets say my domain is mydomain.com So what I did was I removed the nameserver (not the NS records, but the actual nameserver) values. Then I added 3 A records to point to the VPS IP for the following: ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com mydomain.com The host kept telling me I had to set up ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com. So I did. Then I created 2 NS records for mydomain.com with the values of ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com Now after I did all that, I tried setting the nameservers to ns1.myd (HowTos)

Change nameserver 42 weeks 5 days ago

I changed my nameservers at my domain registrar. I waited and not work.

in /etc/hosts:

host1.mydomain.it xx.xx.xx.88

in /etc/nameserverips:

xx.xx.xx.214=ns2.mydomain.it xx.xx.xx.88=ns1.mydomain.it

in /cat/domain/mydomain.it.db:

mydomain.it. 86400 in SOA ns1.mydomain.it. info.domain.it.

I'm starting playing with nameservers. Currently I have:

A domain: mydomain.com Access for writing the whois ns records. Access for writing DNS records at the domain hosting provider.

I have a domain, mydomain.com.au. I make two nameservers for this domain, ns1.mydomain.com.au and ns2.mydomain.com.au, and load them full of NS records, A records, MX records and anything else I feel like hosting.

Now, how do I get these to be used?

I need to forward the default URL of my site (such as mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com) but keep my other A record assignments (points to other server IPs).

Godaddy has a domain forwarding function in the domain management, if I use that forward my domain from mydomain.com to myotherdomain.com will my other dns A records be affected? Such as sub.mydomain.com, sub2.mydomain.com

Thanks!

mydomain.com works fine. www.mydomain.com gives "404 - File or directory not found."

I don't want people to use www.mydomain.com instead of mydomain.com, but I also don't want the 404 error in their face if the do.

I have a domain name and I want to host it on my ISP.

What my goal is is to have 2 nameservers: NS1.mydomain.com NS2.mydomain.com

Hi -

I have a domain name and some 3rd-party host space on which I run a small site that I use for personal purposes, like sharing photos and so forth. Let's call it mydomain.com. It has some associated DNS entries like www.mydomain.com, ftp.mydomain.com and db.mydomain.com.

I was hoping to bring my home machines together onto a domain for a number of reasons.

my domain name is mydomain.com that created 2 child domain for it in domain registrar. ns1.mydomain.com -> 89.144.100.1 ns2.mydomain.com -> 89.144.100.1

in my windows 2008 server with ip address 89.144.100.1, iis and dns service was installed.

i want to add mydomain.com to iis and dns that people access to it over internet and by www. and create user.mydomain.com in iis that host other applicati

I was previously paying for a VPS but have decided to setup a home server instead to save money.

I have a static ip address 12.34.56.78 and have registered a domain name mydomain.com.

I am running CentOS and have BIND running (I setup a Virtual Host for mydomain.com using VirtualMin, which also setup all the BIND nameserver entries for me).
