I am new to CPanel and I cant seem to get anything working properly. I went through the basic configuration but I am not sure how to configure the Name server portion of everything.

I own over 300 domains and I use my hosting providers Name servers for everything and I want to keep it that way.

Lets just say they are called:

ns1.hostingcompany.com
ns2.hostingcompany.com

I do NOT want to use my dedicated server that is running cpanel to be a nameserver for these domains. I create all of my own records on my hosting comanies side.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get this setup. I have all of my DNS configured I just need the server to work with it.

Last time I tried to configure this myself and went to setup an addon domain I get this problem

Error from park wrapper: [an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive][an error occurred while processing this directive]Sorry, cannot determine nameserver IPs. Please make sure that the domain is registered with a valid domain registrar.



Please Help !

Removed jobsinwaynecounty.jobboardsonline.com Server at line: 1181. Removed Entry from httpd.conf Bind reload skipped on server1 (nameserver disabled) The subdomain, test.test1.com has been removed.

test.com could not be setup. The subdomain test.test1.com was not setup either.

First create an account named hostingcompany.com from the create account link. Then from Edit a DNS zone section add ns1 ans ns2 subdomains. It should look as follows.

ns1 IN A first_nameserver_IP
ns2 IN A second_nameserver_IP

Add those nameservers to the Basic server setup --> nameserver area as primary nameserver and secondary nameserver.

Once the new account is created try adding a subdomain to that account after logging into the cpanel of that account.
