    One ip for both nameserver

    My new host give me 1 ip to register for both (ns1 & ns2) nameserver. Is that correct ?

    Ex-host always gave me 2 ip's.

    It's not technically correct, but it could work... however some domain registrars require two different IP addresses.

    I would ask them to give you two, it's really the basic standard for name servers...

    You can use one IP for two nameservers ns1/ns2. It will work fine.

    How will it work fine, if some registrars will not accept a single IP address for two name servers?

    Pat,

    Ok I agree, If the registrar does not accept it, we will be forced to use two IPs.

    Are you on a VPS? If so you can use your main shared IP as one NS and the second IP as your secondary.

    As someone else mentioned you may be able to get by with one IP for both NS but I would imagine you will run into some issues down the road depending on what type of domains you host.

    Many overseas registrants have very strict requirements, some will not even allow you to host NS on the same subnets.

    unless you want to remain completely and utterly anonymous (for whatever reason) you can use the shared IPs of your host provider for any private ns. I do it all the time.
