i have taken a domain name. how to set it up on my virtual dedicated server
Hi All,
I have A dedicated server to host my websites. Now I have taken a new site wants to configuring it to web. How to configure the DNS servers can any one tell me or point to a tutorial to accomplish this.I don't have any previous experience on this.
You need two separate DNS servers (a primary and secondary) to host a domain. Both must have static, public IP addresses. For that reason many people don't do their own DNS, but use something like zoneedit, which is a free DNS service. Also, DNS can be easy to screw up if you don't know what you're doing, so you might want to look into that route.
But basically once you have set up your name servers, you just tell the registrar you got the domain name from (most have a form) and off you go.
