hi guys i have just bought a vps with cpanel that i have to configure.. the name servers that it automatically put in the name server section is ns1 and ns2.digitallinx.net i want to change them to ns1 and ns2.covtec.com which is the domain i wish to use.. how do i go about doing this?? i have got 1 ip address with the server but looking at some instructions i need to have 2 just for the nameserver. i also need to get my domain registrar to add ns1 and ns2 to the domain.. i can change my nameserver but then it wont really point to anything.. so if i get them to add ns1 to point to xx.xx.xx.xx and ns2 to point to xx.xx.xx.xx can i use cpanel as a nameserver?? please help me because this is really doing my head in... if you could write ideot proofe instructions then that would really help me..
Hey there, To start, get another IP! Next, login to WHM and then goto 'general settings'. scroll down...more..more..there ya' go! Notice the nameservers part. For the first one, drop yours in and then on the left 'Assign IP Address' - click this and it should either pick an IP for you or give the one you setup in your registar. Do the same for the 2nd one and save. Assuming you setup things on your registars side it should be all good to go Best of luck, Francisco
