Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Dedicated Server : Dedicated servers and multiple nameservers

[borisbaloney]

I am about to purchase my first DS with ServerMatrix and migrate 300+ small customer sites across to it in the weeks to come.

I understand from purchasing a VPS from another provider in the past, that I must provide a domain name for the nameservers.

Since I would like to help ease administration for my existing clients, I would like to have the new server use the nameserver domain name from the old host when I migrate the sites.

Is it possible to have two different nameserver domain names? The first so I could setup new clients now, the second so I can migrate my clients easier.

Is this sort of thing easy or would ServerMatrix likely charge?

If I remember each nameserver is its own IP basically. So aslong as you have the IPs for it I dont see why it would matter to them. But I would ask them first.


Also I dont see why a host would care if you had multiple name servers on one Dedicated Server. There still getting paid and your not doing anything illegal.

Um.. you want to move clients from the old NS to the new ones. The new NS can be the same as the old NS , except for the new IP addressess for the NS. That is rather easy to accomplish. We do that all the time to ensure seamless transfers across servers. Sites are always up as during the propagation they are accessing the old server or the new one
