Hello,

I have a domain with GoDaddy for one of my clients.

This client now wants his website to be hosted in his server. I asked him to create DNS server (primary and secondary) so we can then have it set propely.

Since this is my first time doing this type of configuration, I am here to ask the help of you guys.

The data for this is the following.

address : www. xyz.com (xyz is not the real name of the company)

DNSs setted: www.xyz.com (IP xxx.29) - primary DNS
www.xyz.com/scondary


Now, how can I set GoDaddy to point the the right address?

Is the DNS names ok, considering that both www address and DNS names has the same name?

Thanks and Regards

Marcos

He would need to set them up as name servers...

IE ns1.xyz.com and ns2.xyz.com

Then in godaddy just change the name servers from the parked ones to his.

Does your client has any DNS software installed on his server? BIND, tinydns?

if it's windows server just install and configure dns via the wizard or dcpromo from run line

I don't know what exactly you need but if you are on linux this will help you out. http://www.garykessler.net/library/dns.html

Just use GoDaddy's DNS and create an A record to point to his computer.
Don't take on too much at first as running your own name server can just complicate things at first. Take advantage of the free DNS that GoDaddy provides.

I have a client that wants something similar to this. He has his own web server and just wanted me to set up a domain to the main ip. I used easydns to create an A record resolving the domain.com to ip.00.00. What exactly does he have to do on the "windows" server for this to work? He plans on installing an ssl cert for the domain as well.

Kevin, if the A record is created, your clients just needs to configure his webserver software (IIS, Apache or whatever) to serve content for this domain. That's it.
