 Virtual
Name Servers
TheVirtual Name Server option allows you to create
virtual domains on the existing server. This allows you to use name
servers for yourself or your clients (resellers). Typically, this
is used to redirect traffic from one virtual domain to the regular
domain. The virtual domain can be thought of as an alias for the
regular domain. There is a charge for this service, please check
our extra options page
for info.
Setting Up a Virtual Name Server
From the Control Panel, select the Virtual Name
Server icon. It then will show the options for name servers on your
account. These can be edited in as much as the NS and NS2 can be
changes. The rest should not be changed. It is also assumed that
you've registered the name servers you wish to use.
In the Primary Name Server field, your primary
name server will be listed. The Name Server Manager automatically
enters the Secondary Name Server field as well. You can enter a
new name in this field if you like.
Select the Install button. A message displays
indicating that the name servers will be set up within one hour.
In the message that appears, select the here link
to continue and set up your virtual domains. The Name Server Manager
displays the two servers you just set up.
You still need to register DNS (Domain
Name Server) for one of the domains you just set up. This
lets you give a virtual name to the domain server.
Note: You may want to write down the IP addresses for the Primary
and Secondary Name Servers listed on the screen. You will need them
in the next step of the procedure. To do this, click on the here
link below the table. The Name Server Manager reappears.
Type the new domain name for this virtual domain in the Domain
Name field. Type the IP address (either your primary or secondary)
in the Domain IP field. For example, the secondary IP would
be 64.177.156.173, and the Domain Name would be something
like ns2.domain.com.
Click on the Confirm button. (At any time, you
can clear the fields by clicking on the reset button.) A message
displays that your virtual domains will be set up within one hour.Select
the here link in the message to return to the main page of the Name
Server Manager . Your changes will be reflected in the listing of
domains.
You can make changes to the new domain names using
the View,Edit, Delete and Send Registration links.
