Ok, perhaps there is an article about how to get started with web hosting. However, I couldn't find it at the moment so I make this post. Please excuse. Ok this is what I have. - A VPS with ISPCONFIG installed (all services are live: named, apache, dns, mail, ftp, etc) - An IP address: 11.22.33.44 - A domain www.mydomain.com (Don't know what NS to use? Use VPS provider's name server?) How do I get started to host web sites with a single ip above with my own name server or the VPS provider's name servers? How do I set up DNS? I have followed the instructions on how to setup my own DNS with ISPCONFIG. What exactly do I need here? Please assist. Also, if I coppied this brand new VPS w/ISPConfig installed (no sites) to another VPS, what should I be editing? /etc/host ...? please xplain. THanks.
What's the output of Code: dig ns mydomain.com ? Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2717&highlight=moving+ispconfig http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2760
dig ns viet-usa.com Still need help.. I've read the post you mentioned and I've done correctly. This is what I have: 1. A vps with a single IP address a. what name server should I be using? is it right that I should use my vps provider dns? ns1.myvpsprovider.com & ns2.myvpsprovider.com b. what to check and what needs to do... Thanks so much... I m confused.
You can create all DNS records for viet-usa.com on the name servers ns1.hostmonster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com. That way you don't have to run your own name servers.
