I'm playing around right new getting used my my new virtual dedicated servers and I have a question regarding the name servers! Can name servers be used for multiple domain names? if so when setting up the nameserver I can use something generic or should it be specific to the domain name? for example ns1.cooexample.com ns1.bigecample.com ns1.crazycoolexample.com or can I add all domain names to ns1.coolexample.com ns2.coolexample.com
you can add all domains to : ns1.coolexample.com ns2.coolexample.com is better to be specific to the domain name.
yeah use ns1.coolexample.com, ns2.coolexample.com make sure to register those name servers using domain manager for the domain coolexample.com.
So we can have unlimited nameservers per IP address? Also normally with the shared hosting account I would have a host number... it's big with number and letter. For this information am I now using my ip address? for example I'm talking about the wordpress wp-config.php... define('DB_NAME', 'coolexample'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'coolexample'); // Your MySQL username <--- do I use the root username for the apache sql? define('DB_PASSWORD', 'coolexample'); // ...and password <--- do I use the root password for the apache sql? define('DB_HOST', 'coolexample); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value <--- this use to be the big letter number combo.. should I use ip address or leave empty? define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', ''); know what I'm saying?
well normally its like define('DB_HOST', 'localhost); I am sure it will work if its not then try using main server IP here.
the nameservers have changed but for some reason the website isn't displaying yet! I guess it's a waiting game now? The domain name I'm testing is registered with godaddy, about 10 hours after changing the DNS to the ones I created the page is currently full of godaddy parked ads! Is this normal before it points to my server? if not how do I make a domain name point to a specific spot on my. I thought that was created when I said add a domain name in the simple control panel maybe I only made the ftp folder and now I need to point the domain name there? or did I do that by creating the host and renaming the name server?
These DNS servers resolve to the same IP address. It is best if they are physically different servers. If you must you can use ns1.coolexample.com as your primary so you have control of your zones and get your ISP to be a slave for you as using slave.your-ISP.com as your second DNS server. -Raymond
