Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : DNS / IP setup help!

[Featured]

I am not sure if this thread is the right place but, recently my company has been hit hard by the economy and are laying people off. They have come up with an idea of offering web hosting to their Property Management clients and asked me to set everything up as I could lose my current job due to cutbacks. I obviously took this task on and we purchased a server, RHE5, CPANEL and a billing system.

I installed the OS and CPANEL/WHM and was able to test a couple sites for Cpanel but I am at a loss when it comes to setting up the IP/DNS stuff and so far, nothing is talking to each other.

We are not using a reseller option as they purchased the T1 line as well so it makes it hard to ask for help and I thought I would ask here because the ISP and software companies probably would say they don't support each other.

So hopefully someone or a few people could give me some feedback.

Below are images to what I have been given from my ISP and also a look at Red Hat, WHM and Domain Sites nameserver stuff.

Thanks for your help!

This is the remainder of the screenshots I took. I am a complete novice at this and can't seem to find the right information I need. I also understand things take a while to propagate but not knowing if I made mistakes, it would take forever to realize what I had done wrong on my own. Thank you again everyone, I will be indebted to you for your help.

ns1.domain.com -> *.64.106
ns2.domain.com -> *.64.107

That NS management page will add glue records for your domain, ns1/ns2, after that go to "Edit Nameservers" and set ns1/ns2.domain.com as nameservers of your domain.com.
Then, after you add domain.com at WHM, it will manage all required DNS records itself.

xtrac568, Thank you for your reply.

I think I changed what you stated. Here are some screens of what I did. Also was I supposed to edit the nameservers for the host domain or just when a client signs up because Domain Site says I need to use their nameservers to get the DNS management to work?



Thank you so much for your help folks as I just received the dreaded "we will be unable to pay your salary unless this takes off" speech so I guess I am on unemployment for a bit

Yeah, this way you will be able to manage host domain DNS records on WHM directly, instead via Domain Site DNS management. If for some reason you want to manage Host domain dns records via Domain Site instead, you can change Host domain nameservers to ns1/2/3/4.domainsite.com.

But you can leave as it is currently configured (all dns management is done via WHM now), once dns propagation is over, all should be functioning correctly.
