    Right now I'm setting up a test domain name to see if I'm understanding how this works!

    I configured the DNS in the Simple Control Panel

    I created an ftp but this is a tricky part it's to the root of a specific IP address. What is this the root of exactly? Am I connecting to this specific root server where I upload my websites too? If so do I simply add these websites inside specifically named folders if I'm going to have multiple websites on the same DNS?

    I'm in apache I didn't even have to install it really... I simply selected yes add apace in the simple control panel and now I have a mysql database where I can create unlimited databases for websites! Will I be using this for all my websites even if I have some on a different IP. ( I get 3 IP address with this VD account)

    DNS setting are odd!

    I can only create one DNS name per IP?

    for example I can't create

    NS1.coolexample.com
    NS2.coolexample.com

    To forward my domain name I need 2 what's up here?

    I created the websites database in apache and inserted all the tables! I guess I'm kind of stuck at the name server part and how I go about getting NS1 and NS2 on the same IP address

    I'm getting there but I still have some work
