Ok, I tried http://www.everydns.net

but I need a name server for my domain name www.portalforums.org because ****** dosent offer that can someone help me set this up with my new dedicated server, I also need a free nameserver

[Stan Marsh]

One more time, please...

You have a dedicated server. Right?
You can't setup it yourself. Right? (WHY on Earth have you got it then???)
****** does not offer nameservers. Right? (are you sure about this? They are a HOSTING company, afterall).

Frankly, I don't understand what exactly do you want.

If that's free DNS for your domain ONLY, you can always google 'free DNS' and you'll be presented with hundreds of choices.

Good luck!

they want my debit info which I dont have ha well I used it and everything is fine and Iam learing how to run the server it is very stable no dns attacks or what ever there called

[Stan Marsh]

Even more strange

- You used a debit card which you don't have???
- No DNS attacks??? Most probably because there's no DNS (Bind?) installed on your server...

Please explain yourself.

Thank you.

P.S. You need to learn how to manage a server BEFORE aquiring one. Read books, establish and run your home network, etc. Only THEN, after few years of practice you can rent/buy a server and connect it to the internet. Else your server will be an easy target for hackers and even a scriptkiddies.

It looks you are having VERY serious learning to do. Rent a sysadmin ASAP and read more books about the basics.

This forum isn't about teaching newbies how to run the server. Sorry.

Good luck, it looks like you'll need it.
