Which web site can I use for setting ns1, ns2 for a parent domain name?

  • 772

I bought a domain from reseller like below :

www.test.com

I want to use this domain as my parent domain.

This domain in the reseller's web site has a control panel that I should set ns1.something.com and ns2.something.com but in those text boxes we can not put any ip-address!

What are these ns1.something.com and ns2.something.com?

I have a server with a valid IP address.

How can I connect that domain to this IP valid of my server (should I do this job in my server or other place - I mean which web site and panel should I use to do that)?

  1. You need to setup a valid public zone for your domain first.

    For now, I may suggest you to use a authoritative DNS server.

    Your domain reseller should have a control panel that provides you with the option to amend the DNS records for this domain. In that panel you should be able to end an A record to point the www.test.com to your server's IP address.

    The ns1.something.com & ns2.something.com specify which DNS servers should be used to look up records under the test.com domain. By default these would be set to use your resellers name servers which their control panel would be updating but you can switch to it use another DNS service if you wish or point them to your own DNS server as well if required.
