Help out a newb?

[brendan52190]

Hi,

So I'm new to managing my own server, just got one from softlayer today.

I think I've been able to figure everything out, but I have a question about DNS.

Where do I set this up? Do I use ns1.softlayer.com and ns2.softlayer.com?

I'm planning to host multiple domains on the server; do I use the same DNS for all?

Also, I need to enter IP addresses; where do I find these out?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hello!
Whic h web hosting solution do you currently have?

 

[Accurate]

If its cPanel you need to log into WHM.

If you are working with managed dedicated server solution you can go ahead and work on it with help of web hosting provider's support team

So how it is going? Have you managed to install DNS?

Not necessarily. You can use your private name servers also.

That is recommended to use your own nameservers
