HOWTO: Webhosts Creating Own NS with cPanel.

[RageD]

Ok all you webhosts out there that do not already know how to create your own NameServers via cPanel this is how...

Requirements:

cPanel WHM
A 'host' domain that allows you to connect to your hosting site


Step 1.) Login to WHM & find DNS Functions, click 'Add DNS Zone'
Step 2.) Now add ns1.yourdomain.com (point it to the IP of ns1.your-reseller.com)
Step 3.) Add ns2.yourdomain.com (Point it to the IP of ns2.your-reseller.com)

Now those can be used as NameServers for your End Users!!

What? You don't know your Reseller's IP's on the nameservers? No worrys!

http://internic.com can help! Just go to 'WHOIS' make the radio buttion 'NS' then type the nameservers! This works for both nameservers!

All I have listed in WHM under DNS Functions is "Edit Zone Templates" I guess I'll have to do it at the registrar.

Do you have the reseller WHM? It should say this:

DNS Functions
Edit Zone Templates
Park or Point a Domain
Add a DNS Zone
Edit a MX Entry
Edit a DNS Zone
Delete a DNS Zone

Yeah, I do have a reseller whm, but all the rest of the options are not there. Not a big deal tho, as I can still do the same thing at the registrar.

Caveman: Ask your reseller provider... This happened to me on one of my resellers as well..
