For this we will assume that your domain is www.mydomain.com.
Also keep in mind that while you are a reseller, you can only go so far with completing these tasks, some of them requires our services, which we will happily provide.
If you are a dedicated server customer, then you can do all of the necessary steps listed below to properly set up private nameservers for your customers and not use any extra IPs.
Let's get started.
1. Login to your registrar panel (Godaddy, Enom, etc..)
2. Select the domain you want to use and find where you can 'Register New DNS'.
3. Put in ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com in the respective fields.
4. Put in the IP addresses (either yours or the ones provided to you by your host).
5. Hit the save/submit button.
NOTE: If you are a regular reseller, the rest is done by your host on their end, so notify them that you have done your part. If you run a dedicated server, read on.
6. Login to your WHM panel as 'root'.
7. Go to 'Reseller Center', select 'mydomain.com', click on the 'Edit Domains/Privilages' icon.
8. When the page loads, scroll down and put in the new nameservers, in this case ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com.
9 Save them and scroll down to 'DNS Function' and select 'Edit DNS Zone'.
10. You will notice that the new nameservers are now located in the top 2 text fields. Scroll all the way down to where it says 'Add new A entries'.
11. In the first text field put in the nameserver and in the second empty text field put in the IP address. So, it will look something like this:
ns1 14400 IN A 1.1.1.1
ns2 14400 IN A 1.1.1.2
12. Click Save and go back to the Reseller Center, and then to Edit Privilages/Nameservers for the correct user.
13. Scroll down to where you put in the private nameservers earlier. For each one, click on the "Assign an A record" button. This will open up a new window.
14. In this new window, click on the "Assign an A record" and that's it!
I have had my hosting with AYK since 2006, and it has by far been the best experience I have ever had with any hosting company. The support is always spot on and available around the clock, excellent for me since I'm always working on things at odd hours. They make upgrading to fit needs very clean and easy, the cost is excellent for services received, and they have me as a customer for life.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
Great response time and excellent service. I've been with AYK for nearly a year now and I couldn't be happier. If you're ready to make the step up from budget hosting to someone that can still work with you to spec out a server for your needs at an extremely competitive price, shoot these guys an email and see what they have available. You will not regret it. With datacenters located all ove r the globe they're certain to have something for you.. or they'll just build it
