Config DNS for hosting

How do I config my DSN on dedicated server with WHM so that I can host other people and they can just point their nameservers from their registrar to my site like so?

ns1.mysite.com
ns2.mysite.com

thanks

 

Do you need them to be the main nameservers or extra nameservers?

 

main nameserver

 

I would suggest adding your virtual host entries directly on the server configuration file (httpd.conf) via putty or WinSCP then restart the server and you will see the records withing WHM in the zone file area, from which you can make any further modification.

 

Do you have cPanel/WHM?

 

Yes I do

 

OK, this is what you do:

1. Login to your WHM panel
2. Click the Basic cPanel/WHM Setup link
3. Scroll down until you see Primary Nameserver. Enter ns1.yourdomain.com and click Assign IP address (write down the IP it gives you) and the Click Add an A entry for this nameserver.
4. Scroll down to Secondary Nameserver. Enter ns2.yourdomain.com and click Assign IP address (write down the IP it gives you) and the Click Add an A entry for this nameserver.
5. Go to the bottom of the page and click save.
6. Register the nameservers with the IP's you have written down at your registrar.

Done

 

Ok, now let say I host an another account. That person just have to go to their domain registrar and enter NS1.MyDomain.com and NS2.MyDomain.com right? (without using the IP)

 

Correct
