VPS Server and Me!

[ChrisKader]

Hey guys,

Recently I purchased a VPS Server through x10 and I love having control over my own server. But, I soon realized that I have NO IDEA to what I am doing.

I have registered my 2 IP addresses with GoDaddy (NS1, NS2) for my name servers.. How do I go about linking those to my VPS (WHM). I think once I do that, I can go about doing everything else I need to do. Thank you in advance for your help!

Open up the DNS Functions section of WHM.

It tells me that I am out of IPs for nameservers

 

[carl6969]

How many IP's do you currently have?
At least two?

 

[ChrisKader]

Yes. 2 IPs.

Hello,

If you added them via your domain register already, all you need to do is go to Basic setup, from there go to the bottom and you'll see something a long the lines of this. I made a short video.

And here is a quick image of the button to press.

After entering your ns1/ns2 into the boxes, just press 'Add an A record for these domains', and you'll be all set and ready to go.

The NS 1 and 2 IPs or just the NS1.domain.com?

So, how about my host name? I try to access WHM from my hostname and I get a dead page.

On the left column in WHM, you'll see DNS Functions. Under this, you'll see 'Add an A record for my hostname', click on that and follow the prompts.

I did do that, but, I can access the WHM panel from the TLD Domain, not the sub (hostname).
