I'm sorry, but I have a newbie question for you. I always used a webspace for my sites, but recently I had to order a dedicated server because I was having over 20 000 unique visitors/ day and I was crashing dreamhost. I ordered a server at 1paket.com (great service!) and ordered a domain at godaddy.com. I want to use the domainservers of godaddy.

The control panel of my server is confixx, which is very hard to use. I created a user, give it all the rights it needed, added a domain for that user.

What do I have to do to link the domain to the webspace of that user? The domain needs to be visible on the whole site and change when you click on another page.

I thank you for your help,

I would really recommend you to find a sysadmin. Unmanaged dedicated server is NOT for newbies like you. I think we have our share of zombie servers already and one more could fill the cup over... This question just shows that you're *complete* newbie, not capable of the easiest tasks, let alone keeping your box updated, secured and happy.

Anyway, to answer your question. If you want to use GoDaddy's nameservers (WHY you want to do that is beyond my understanding, BTW), you need to create an A record in them for your domain. Like this:

example.com. IN A 123.123.123.123

If you want to receive mail at your new domain, it needs to have MX records as well:

mail.example.com. IN A 123.123.123.123
example.com. IN MX 10 mail.example.com.

However, I strongly suggest you to employ a sysadmin.

Good luck!

can I visit your website?

I can't post the link because it is slightly nsfw (and that's against the rules of wht).

Btw, problem solved. I wanted to use the godaddy nameservers because Bind9 didn't want to communicate with confixx, but I found out that the dns (in confixx)is autamaticly disabbled on new servers of my isp. I reïnstalled confixx (I'm starting to hate this control panel), changed admin-config-files and now it all works!!!

There is also a sysadmin now.
