Yes, that's correct. But the record doesn't seem to exist yet: Code: dig server.vasceria.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> server.vasceria.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 15896 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;server.vasceria.com.

I tried it now and I'm getting this: Code: dig server.vasceria.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> server.vasceria.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 53462 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;server.vasceria.com.

I got another computer and set everything up from a fresh start. Everything went just fine. No errors at all. Now for the domain hosts. I setup 2 nameservers at my registrar: server.vasceria.com and server1.vasceria.com I also set them up in ISPconfig: So, for the domain vasceria.com, what do I replace the current nameservers (ns*.phsynet.com) with? It just doesn't seem like I would use "server.vasceria.com" and "server1.vasceria.com" as the name servers when they are the domain hosts, but I'm not sure.
You can use server.vasceria.com and server1.vasceria.com, but then you need a glue record: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dns#Understanding_domain_registration_and_glue_records Ask your domain registry to help you with that.
I e-mailed them so hopefully they will get back to me. In the meantime, I did a DNS lookup on the domain hosts that I created as well as the nameservers that I used in ISPconfig. Here is what the DNS lookup gave me: Code: How I am searching: Searching for server.vasceria.com A record at e.root-servers.net [192.203.230.10]: Got referral to J.GTLD-SERVERS.NET.

A IN 172800 65.186.87.93 So, it's pointing to my IP address. I assume that's what I want?
