Hello, I'm a total noob at this and I just got a dedicated server from godaddy with simple control panel. I need to point my domain name to my dedicated server, what are the steps in order to do that? I've already tried setting my custom name servers but it says that I need two of them? Can anyone help me with this? Thanks
You need to use one ip to point to something like ns1.whatever.com and the second ip to ns2.whatever.com.
If you have already set this things, make sure that the required ports are open in order to get it working. You can stop iptables if you are having any problems I have seen that with simple control panel that a simple ping to the server is added in the iptables.
do you know how to set up name servers? in godaddy you have to set the name servers / ips to your domain so do ns1.yourdomain.com to one ip 168.0.0.15 ns2.yourdomain.com to one ip 168.0.0.16 then point your domain to ns1.yourdomain.com , ns2,yourdomain.com https://www.liquidweb.com/support/tutorials/dnsns_godaddy.htm
