problem with .de domains and DNS

    I have a .de domain at godaddy and ran into some strange problems. When I set the DNS as usuall on godadday it fails and I get a notification email like this:
    Apparently for a .de domain I need to have two completely different DNS on 2 different network ie ns1.ahosting.com and ns2.ahosting.com wouldn't be working.

    What do I do now?

    That is not a strange problem, simply you cannot setup nameservers for .DE domains at GoDaddy.

    You need to leave secureserver.net as default nameservers and the open Total DNS control to introduce a couple of A records pointing to your hosting IP.

    That is the only way to make your DE domains works.

    Hey, thanks for reply.

    What do I enter for "Host Name: " and for "Points to IP Address: "? And do I need 2 A records?

    You can use two A records (@ and www) or alias the second

    This is how I have mine, just change the IP for that of your hosting provider
