Please anyone if has experience advice me,

I have a small hosting reseller business and I have 2 hosting providers, how must I configure my main domain for example mydomain.com so that I can use these 2 hosts simultaneously as name servers?

on FIRST HOST I need to put DNS:

ns1.mydomain.com ( Dedicated IP: 111.111.111.111 )
ns1.mydomain.com ( Dedicated IP: 222.222.222.222 )

on SECOND HOST I need to put DNS::

ns3.mydomain.com ( Dedicated IP: 333.333.333.333 )
ns4.mydomain.com ( Dedicated IP: 444.444.444.444 )

Must I use IPs or need something A record or other? And where I must edit this records?

Additionally, my domain provider is domainsite.com maybe someone knows their DNS management panel and how do I make these changes?

Hi, re part 2 of your query

I'd not heard of domainsite.com before, so checked out there site....
from there knowledge base:

To create a Host record for your domain, please do the following: 1. Go to our homepage. 2. Login to your account. 3. At the Welcome page, click on your domain. 4. On the Manage domain name screen, choose the Advanced DNS edits option. 5. Next, click Add a Host record. 6. On the DNS Management page, enter the appropriate Host name and IP address. 7. Press Submit. Your Host record will take effect anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. .

sounds fairly straight forward

good luck

Well, in first place i never use them for "be a server", and i enter in my account. Look as :

https://www.domainsite.com/management/manage_domain.php?domain_name=yourdomain.com

Then use the option modifiy a name server.

https://www.domainsite.com/management/update_ip.php?domain_name=yourdomain.com

I read before at seriuos problems in some forums about the dns magnament with them.

Good luck

Thank you to all,

I find panel "Register a Name Server" https://www.domainsite.com/management/reg_ns.php?domain_name=yourdomain.com&host=&option=
where i did those records for 4 DNS

After I contacted the two server providers and ask to register ns1 ns2 and ns3 ns4

after 24 hours this two server was working, but I did not upload websites yet. I will do it and test too.

you should buy managed DNS service.

At first you must register your child name servers and their ip's by contacting with your domain registrar(or you can do it on your domain control panel).

Then change your name servers as the reseller account which you hosted your site on by domain registrar. For example: if you hosted your site on your first reseller account and it's name servers are ns1.yourdomain and ns2.yourdomain then change your name servers as ns1.yourdomain and ns2.yourdomain.

At last change the MX record of other reseller accounts as your reseller account which you hosted your site. You can do it on your hosting control panel.
