subdomains which will act like nameservers
« on: December 19, 2005, 08:51:26 AM »
Hello!

I recently installed SME 7b8 and I am facing this situation: I would like to create 2 subdomains (like: ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com) on my SME server which should act like nameservers (to be able to tell the registrar of another domain, different than domain.com, to point this second domain to ns1 and ns2)
I created these domains and, if i put them in the browser, the result is loading the Primary ibay page. I tried to put ns1 and ns2 subdomains as nameservers for the second domain in my registrar page (which is godaddy) but it says they are invalid. I think they really are invalid :D

I am already using zoneedit, which is great, but I might have more than 5 domains hosted on my SME box. Would that be possible not to use zoneedit and still have more than 1 domain hosted on my sme? How? :D

(Sorry if the question is not very clear and thanks for the answer! :) )

This isn't how to do it, but what is wrong is that you need to create 'glue' records for your nameservers.

If you don't want to pay for Zoneedit then have a look at this ....

Umh... seems complicated :D
Is not I don't want to pay, is that I want to host my own small server... if I have to pay, I would pay a professional hosting.

Didn't know about http://www.granitecanyon.com/ so thanks for the link! I will give it a try
