I have one registered domain on VPS with DNS hosting and would like to host more domains (sites) on that VPS. As I understood, I don't have to buy DNS hosting for the other domain, so how do I host more domains? It's Windows VPS with Plesk. Can anyone explain in detail? Do I need to create NS records for my registered domain (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) and then point other domain to those nameservers? I really am a newbie at this, Thanks in advance, -Alex (not sure if I posted this twice, please delete the first one if I did)
you need to register your Name Servers with your registrar. the procedure is different for every registrar, who have to ask your registrar itself. In simple words, you need to point ns1.yourdomain.tld --> your server IP ns2.yourdomain.tld --> your server IP Here is some help to do it on common registrars. http://www.hostgator.com/privatenameservers.shtml If you still can't figure it out, then please mention your domain & its registrar.
if you don't have a control panel on your vps, you might want to read this http://ravisblog.com/?p=1654
Awesome Post! Please blog more on this topic specially on configuration & system admin part like installing PHP,python. troubleshooting errors etc. I will keep an eye on your blog
If your host set up your first domain then all you need to do is: 1. Add domain to plesk (go to domains and click add!) 2. Go to your registrar and set the nameservers to ns1.xxx.xxx and ns2.xxx.xxx of your original domain. The host support team should help you with it though.
