Hi, I have a domain, blackid.in. I want to set up name servers like ns1.blackid.in and ns2.blackid.in. I have a VPS at phatservers.com. Please guide me how do I do the same? Thanks imphp
I know with GoDaddy, you can set these up by going to your Domain control panel, but it depends obviously where your domains are located. Let me know if your with GoDaddy, and I'll get you some more info, as mine are configured there.
In that case, I can help you with how to set up your side, but unfortunatly I am a reseller, and my host did it for me, so didn't deal with setting up the nameservers at the servers end, only GoDaddy's. Sorry about that. Login to your GoDaddy account, and then click the My Account option from the right. Under My Products, select My Domains. Click on the domain you want to create nameservers for. If you look in the bottom left hand corner, you should see a box with the heading 'Host Summary'. Click the Add button. If you dont see this box, you need to unlock your domain to use all it's features. You then need to add the relivent IP addresses, etc. Hope that helps you out a bit. Sorry, I don't know anything about the server side.
Have a look here for how to setup your private nameservers at godaddy: http://www.demodemo.com/1/tutorials/dnsns_godaddy.htm If you have cPanel you set up your nameservers in WHM > Nameserver IPs. You will need to add A records for these as well.
Just log in to your godaddy account and select your domain. Then in the Domain Manager, in the bottom left hand corner it says "Host Summary (add)" just click the 'add' link, name it like you want eg 'ns1.blackid.in' and set the ip address(es) It's ok to use the one ip address for both name servers.
You will need to setup the nameservers in your Hosting control panel as well as in your registrar control panel. Kailash
