Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : 1 domain for each nameserver?

[protector330]

I guess this is a stupid question, but its better to get an answer to a stupid question... rather than stay stupid forever

can I do something like this?

DOMAIN-NAME-ONE.COM -> for nameserver1
DOMAIN-NAME-TWO.COM -> for nameserver 2


but without adding subdomains? I've found 2 nice domains wich would look so nice in my whois info without subdomain

thanks for any info

Nope

did i break your heart?

Reason is that nameserver needs to be registered with root servers through registrar. And a nameserver can only be a sub-domain of another domain. You can not make a domain itself as a nameserver.

What you can do is,

ns.domain-name-one.com
ns.domain-name-two.com

just by adding ns to the start of it makes it elite

[protector330]

how sad but ok, I will put a ns. in front of them and pay for this luxury nameservers twice instead of all the "non luxury" editions around

Unclear on the Concept but...

If you want to provide a dns server for a domain, can't you just enter the ip number/s for the dns server/s at the registrar of the domain name?

Technically DNS allows you to do that as long as you have A record(s) for DOMAIN-NAME-ONE.COM and DOMAIN-NAME-TWO.COM.

However, some registries might put additional restriction to it.

protector330,

This is possible. I have not tested it, so can not confirm, but you must try Ignore my earlier post

priyadi is right, you just need an A record. so that DOMAIN-NAME-ONE.COM can resolve to an IP.

But for an A record of DOMAIN-NAME-ONE.COM you will need two other nameservers.

Now another thing is that your registrar allows you to add DOMAIN-NAME-ONE.COM in nameservers.

Try it

ok! I will try
