I have just got a Virtual private server. I have Plesk for adminstration abd managed to add a few domains. The problem is that I don't know what my DNS urls are. I believe I know it and I changed the DNS at registrar but seems that they are not correct. How do I know the DNS for my domains? Just add that using IP number and username/password I can get to FTP for these sites. Please help.
You have to create a " Name server first" Then add " A " Records to the server Step 1: Go to your registar ( i.e. godaddy ) Modify the Host Summary records and add your ip and name sever name You can make for example ns1. AND ns2 Then like I said you set the ip of your server STEP 2 Go into plesk, Then go to server>Set an A record and add 2 A records Ns1 and ns2 STEP THREE Point your domains to the name server ( This is the domain you changed) The name servers would be NS1.THEDOMAINYOUCHANGED.COM NS2.THEDOMAINYOUCHANGED.COM It might take a few hours for the dns to prop
I am stuck at this step one. Namecheap would accept ns1.mydomain.com as nameserver and there is no option there like "Add your IP". There is a link to "Register nameserver" and a list of ns1,ns2, ns3.mydomain.com and it asks me to put the IP in front of it. When I put IP there and submit I get this error: Error: Root domain cannot be found., If I don't put anything in IP text box and submit I get this error: Please choose the hostname and enter the IP for registering your nameserver. Any idea? .
I just went to my name cheap account and it worked fine Just enter your SERVER ip for name server ns1 and ns2 See the image below
