Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Change of nameserver.

[thomas81]

I change my server name as I found that I cannot assign ip to that domain anymore ns1.thosting.net as being used by another IP.

I instead rename server to server.lhosting.net and assign my server allocated ip to nameserver ns1.lhosting.net and ns2.lhosting.net successfully using whm root 6 hours ago. How long it will take for the new nameserver to go live in Internet and should I contact server managment staff for that to take effect?

When I go to my domain control panel such as rackshack reseller to change nameserver to these as above, I got error message stated that cannot find the existance of that server ns1.lhosting.net, what is the reason?

Are you sure DNS is running properly?
Did you create a new DNS entry with your domain registrar?

It takes 24-48, sometimes 72 hours for domains to become fully accessible and finish propogation

Usuall it takes about 12 - 48 hours. As for setting up the nameserver you can actually do it, by go to /etc/nameserverips and then setting them up in there.

cd /etc
pico nameserverips

after logging in to SSH.
