NameServer Setup

[MrSpeed]

I just signed up with a reseller account and wanted to get a private label nameserver. The host said the IP if the nameserver was 123.456.789.1 (fake of course)

I went into the nameserver management portion of my registrar and entered the following:

Server Hostname:
ns1.widgets.com

Server Netaddress:
123.456.789.1

widgets.com is my existing domain. I'm hoping the ns1 as a valid entry? When this change propegates I should be able to enter ns1.widgets.com as the DNS for the domains on my reseller account and all should be fine right?

It's been a 1.5 day and I still can't ping ns1.widgets.com

Thanks,
Rich

Your host should have provided an IP and a URL for his name server. You should have inserted those, exactly as provided, into your registrar's fields. It's not clear to me (from your "widgetizing") that you did that but I suspect you did.

I bought a new domain name Thursday and set up the nameserver addresses. Today, it began to resolve. It may not resolve for people in other parts of the world for a few more days. It can take up to a week for DNS records to propagate to all of the DNS servers worldwide.

If you gave your registrar the right info, take a break and relax! ;) It'll happen.

Maybe I wasn't clear but what I wanted to do was create private label nameservers for my reseller account. This way my clients couls simply add ns1.mydomain.com into the DNS record for their sites.

My concern is that I pulled the ns1 out of the air and I was hoping that in the router tables it would resolve
ns1.mydomain.com --> 123.456.789.1

My bad! You were clear enough, I misread.

<sheepishly>I can't help but at least I bumped your post...</sheepishly>
