    I was wondering ,I just got a VPS with Cpanel ^^ , but I'm totally clueless on how to set my name server up!! I mean what am I supposed to do!

    I think i've set everything up correctly on the cpanel, so my name servers are

    [I'll call my domain "mysite.net"
    ns1.mysite.net and ns2.mysite.net but how to do I get this to work!

    My domain, "mysite.net" is registered at godaddy, how do I get it to work :S, I tried putting the name server options to "ns1.mysite.net" and "ns2.mysite.net" and it gave me "Errors have been found" and I couldn't click ok! What am I doing wrong :S

    If you are done with Cpanel then you should add them in your godaddy panel. Try to do it by following these steps:

    Go to Domains >> My Domains
    Click on your domain you'd like to set up private nameservers for
    Click on View/Modify Detail under 'Host Summary' on the bottom left
    For "Host Name 1:" you'll input "ns1" (no quotes) in the box
    For "Host Name 2:" you'll input "ns2" (no quotes) in the box
    For "Host IP 1:" you'll input your primary IP address
    For "Host IP 2: you'll enter the same IP as your primary address, except one number higher.(For Example: You received the ip: 70.87.90.194 when signing up, this would be your primary IP for ns1. For ns2 you would use: 70.87.90.195)
    Click "OK"

    Be sure to add DNS entires in the server as well, or the private nameservers won't resolve.
