Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Domain Names : What DNS-Information to provide here?

[yangxi]

Hello,

I'm considering to register a ccTLD. My first name is still available

When registering the domain I get asked for:
Primary Host
Secondary Host
Primary Net
Secondary Net

Is it ok to provide the 2 nameservers from my webhost?
Why do they ask for Primary/Secondary Host and Primary/Secondary Net?
Where to write what

Thanx in advance for any helpful information........

[fattee77]

If you're going to host your domain at your host's servers you have to submit those indeed..........

[yangxi]

But where to write what

When the nameservers are
ns1.exampleserver.com
ns2.exampleserver.com

Is it then ok to write
Primary Host ns1
Primary Net exampleserver.com
Secondary Host ns2
Secondary Net exampleserver.com

Or....

[Bashar]

hmm, thats kinda wierd did you try to as them?

usually its
primary host ns1.exampleserver.com
IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
secondary host: ns2.eampleserver.com
2nd IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

not sure why they name it 'Net'

[yangxi]

Thanx, Bashar So I will provide the IP in the Net field.

I just did a Google search and found at www.aspensites.com/howto.html

Primary Name Server:
Primary Host Name: NS.NETRAFIC.COM
Primary Net Address: 216.147.109.77
Secondary Name Server:
Secondary Host Name: NS2.NETRAFIC.COM
Secondary Net Address: 216.147.125.19


I haven't registered yet, only looked through the registration process so far. It takes one business day to get the domain activated and it's weekend, and I would like to get some opinions about their payment gateway (InternetSecure) first - already posted in the e-commerce forum

[Bashar]

good luck

let us know how it goes after the registration process is completed.

btw what ccTLD is it ?

www.nic.mn

[Bashar]

MN ! hehe i bet you can find many other ccTLDs with your first name

or .mn makes special meaning to you ?

[yangxi]

Nope, .mn has no special meaning for me, but the registration process seems to be rather simple for
an exotic domain name. Credit card payment via a secure Canadian payment gateway is possible.

I will think about it over the weekend. There are still a lot of cool and short domain names available

[Bashar]

there is cheaper ccTLDs such as .cc .ws .tv .nu .bz

not sure what the name but i wouldn't go with .mn if i were u and found another option

up to you though!

.cc .ws .tv .nu and .bz are already taken

Are your concerns based on the fact that the .mn domain is located in Mongolia or
do you know of some problems with the .mn domain? Feel free to pm me about it....

[yangxi]

.vg .tc and .gs are still available, but they are almost double price with $85/year

.mn is "only" $45/year with a 2years' registration. But I'm not in a hurry with it

[Bashar]

well because other ccTLDs u can register them with icann accredited registrars instead of going directly to the registry.

never tried them though, good luck

[yangxi]

Should I finally decide to buy a .mn domain
I will tell you about my experiences with the
registration process.

As there are still so many .mn domains available
I'm thinking about not to register my firstname
but a different short and cool domain name
