I am using a web hosting on 480m.com.
At first, I used IP address 64.191.99.76/~ssword, DA worked fine, a wordpress worked fine, everything functioned perfectly.
then I bought a domain name "ssword.me" from name.com, and tried to bind it to my website.
I tried it in several ways:
1. Using the default name servers provided by name.com(ns1/2/3/4.name.com), and added new DNS record as following:
ftp A 64.191.99.76
mail A 64.191.99.76
pop A 64.191.99.76
smtp A 64.191.99.76
ssword.me. A 64.191.99.76
www A 64.191.99.76
mail MX 10
(I also tried to add
ssword.me. NS ns1.480m.com
ssword.me. NS ns2.480m.com
ssword.me. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:64.191.99.76 ~all"
but failed.)
I can get access to DA by ssword.me:2222, FTP, Mail is OK. But the webmail page, and phpmyadmin(ask for usr and pwd, but nothing happened) is blank, so is my wordpress(ssword.me).
2. Using both name servers provided by name.com and 480m.com(ns1/2.480m.com)
3.Using only the name servers provided by 480m.com.
4.Using only the name servers provided by 480m.com, add ns1/2/3/4.name.com to DA->DNS management.
all are the same as described above.

I'd greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you!
 
1. Using the default name servers provided by name.com(ns1/2/3/4.name.com), and added new DNS record as following:

You do not add a domain in this way. There is a lot more to adding a domain than just adding a dns record. That is the whole point of using a control panel, to add a domain correctly and to keep you from having to do a lot of work manually.

How it is done depends on what skin you are using and what screen you are looking at. It might be best to consult with your hosting company.

Basically there is a link to add a domain and you would simply type the domain in and a few other options and then everything is added for you.

Look at the demos at http://www.demodemo.com/hostingtutorials.html
 
You could also just delegate your domain nameserver primary setting to your DA server and setup the other host as a slave.
 
I have watch all the tutorials about DA, but there are all just do as my way3 did, are there any more tutorials. I was just new to this, don't know much.

That is not the way you are supposed to add a domain that you want to host on your DA server.

Watch the tutorial on "Hosting additional domains"

This is already my main domain, It is assigned when I registered at 480m.com.

now, my setting is that add only ns1/2.480m.com as nameserver at name.com, but still did not work out.
