How to Add Domains to VPS

Discussion in 'Site & Server Administration' started by alexpr07, May 24, 2009.

    I have one registered domain on VPS with DNS hosting and would like to host more domains (sites) on that VPS.

    As I understood, I don't have to buy DNS hosting for the other domain, so how do I host more domains? It's Windows VPS with Plesk. Can anyone explain in detail?

    Do I need to create NS records for my registered domain (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) and then point other domain to those nameservers?

    I really am a newbie at this,

    Thanks in advance,
    -Alex

    you need to register your Name Servers with your registrar. the procedure is different for every registrar, who have to ask your registrar itself.

    In simple words, you need to point
    ns1.yourdomain.tld --> your server IP
    ns2.yourdomain.tld --> your server IP

    Here is some help to do it on common registrars.

    If you still can't figure it out, then please mention your domain & its registrar.

    If your host set up your first domain then all you need to do is:
    1. Add domain to plesk (go to domains and click add!)
    2. Go to your registrar and set the nameservers to ns1.xxx.xxx and ns2.xxx.xxx of your original domain.

    The host support team should help you with it though.
