    Hi all,

    Hope someone can help me :)

    I have a problem adding c0-domains here is my situation:-

    I have a domain name registered with UKReg, Now I have pointed the A Name and MX records to my server IP address. I have created the site www.bnasystems.co.uk and it works fine. I have also added the co-domain care.bnasystems.co.uk and have fowarded it to a folder in my 'web' root called support, so that should work fine, However if I try to locate: http://care.bnasystems.co.uk it doesnt work! - When I create the co-domain do I have to check 'create dns'? When I created www.bnasystems.co.uk I didnt have to tick 'create DNS'

    Hope someone can help,

    Thanks in advance,

    Bobby

    All you really need to do is create in the UKReg an other A record with as A host: care, and point it to your server's IP.
    You do not need to tick: 'create dns' as you are using the UKReg DNS server.

    An other way of doing this is to create a CNAMES (Aliases) named: care, and point it to @.
    You will also need to do this at UKReg.

    Option one is better I think.

    This works perfectly fine for .com domains but I don't think UKReg enables you to add A & MX Names for .co.uk domains as the option when I try to configure a .co.uk domain doesnt appear. :(

    How would I go about setting up my own domain server?

    Is it just a case of creating a .com domain, pointing hosts ns1.XXXX.com and ns2.XXXX.com to my ISPConfig server and then on the .co.uk domains (that I want to host on my DNS Server) change the nameservers to: ns1.XXXX.com and ns2.XXXX.com and create a DNS Master for the .co.uk domain on nmy ISPConfig server?
