Hi!
I did a lot of reading about this in this forum and i am still confuse about it..
This is what i have done:
a) I created and registered a domain “abcde.com” at enom.
b) I used the same domain “abcde.com” to register DNS like this with my registrar:
ns1.abcde.com --> 12.123.123.12
ns2.abcde.com --> 12.123.123.13
Didn’t change or add anything else…
c) When I got my dedicated server It was using a custom assigned hostname like:
#####.datacenter.com
d) I changed the hostname in my server to match what I wanted, in this case:
server10.abcde.com
Just so if it has anything to do with what I want to configure in DA.
e) When I go here in DA:
Admin control panel>Administrator settings>
I notice that the section called: “Server Settings (will restart DirectAdmin)” has the following:
Server's Name ----- > #####.datacenter.com
NS1 ----------------- > ns1.datacenter.com
NS2 ----------------- > ns2.datacenter.com
This is what I want to have:
1) I want to be able to enter in my web browser “server10.abcde.com” and show the default or a custom static page related to the server. (I know how to do the web page) All I want is to configure this.
Right now if I enter in the web browser: “#####.datacenter.com”, the browser shows the default page from apache server.
2) I want to use the DNS that I registered in enom “ns1.abcde.com” and “ns2.abcde.com” so they have a response from my server.
3) knowing from the information above, I wonder what to write in section “e)”. I think I know.. just want to make sure
Thanks,
Dec
