Setting up nameserver + parking domain on dedicated server?
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 10:52 pm
I purchased a dedicated server from http://www.superbhosting.net . Not a bad price ($59.00/month for a 2.4GHz machine), but the problem is that they basically installed an OS (Linux CentOS), Apache, and left most of the rest to me. I don't have cPanel or anything, meaning all of this work must be done by hand.. (through SSH).
Setting up nameserver...
So far, I've set up the FTP server and phpMyAdmin (took several hours) and have managed to get the website working-- when you type in the IP address into your browser, that is. My task now is to get my domain to resolve to the dedicated server IP address(es; they gave me two).
I was told by superbhosting.net support that I need to set up nameserver software on my dedicated server. How do I do this?
I have entered ns1.seedsoftime.net and ns2.seedsoftime.net into the domain manager at Godaddy for my seedsoftime.net domain, and I have registered the nameservers in Godaddy with a guide I googled for.
Parking domain...
After the name server is set up, do I also have to "park" the domain somehow? I have one main domain (seedsoftime.net) I need to get working ASAP, and I also have a couple of extra domains for other sites I'd like to host (joshforde.com and ultimatetowerdefense.com).
