    I have my VPS all configured but I'm stuck at nameservers and hostnames.

    My main domain name is www. revelation gaming .net

    When I created the VPS I set the host name to st1. revelation gaming .net

    I only have one IP and I need 2 hostnames I assume.

    So on GoDaddy.com I set the Nameservers to this: http://puu.sh/5FuSZ.png

    I set the hostname to the same as the nameservers and pointed them to the same IP of my server.

    And I have my DNS template set to this: http://puu.sh/5Fv2O.png

    I also have this DNS control panel in my VPS panel: http://puu.sh/5FzWn.png

    I am so confused and I'm in dyer need of help!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What am I doing wrong here? And shouldn't any domain I point to those name servers go to their respective location on the server?

    Thanks!

    (you may see a webpage if you visit the website, but that is because it's changing the nameservers and it's still pointed to the old server).

    Depending on what you need to do, you could use the same IP for both NS servers (not recommended) - to do that just register 2 NS servers with the IP of your server:

    http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/664/setting-nameservers-for-your-domain-names

    If you do not need to use your own DNS servers, you could point your domain to GoDaddy's NS servers and simply edit the "@" record with your server IP from GoDaddy's DNS panel (as well as the e-mail records if you're planning to use e-mail on your own server).

    I managed to fix the problem. Godaddy is just a bad place to get a domain. I registered my name servers on a different registrar and it fixed the problem.
