Hello.
I was not the one that set-up my server, so I am wondering if I edit the server settings, if my server will remain online and my sites still resolve properly?
Basically why I want to edit the server settings is because when you reverse the IPs of my sites or whatever, it comes up nameservers and IP addresses that don't actually work. I guess my host just put it in there to put the server up.
This causes a problem for me because I have a forum, and when members register with ISP email addresses - AOL specifically - the emails from my server bounce and get rejected as spam, because the domain doesn't match the DNS/reverse IP credentials [because of the server settings I guess].
Now, is it safe to edit the following information to reflect my administrator/"master" domain?:
I'd like to edit the above information to reflect my administrator/"master" domain that's on my server, the domain that lies within my administrator account. Will this be okay?
I understand from speaking to a representative of another hosting company that the server's hostname really doesn't matter, and can really be any subdomain I choose on my master domain.
My master domain also has the nameservers already registered to the assigned IP address, so I guess this should be okay?
Please confirm and provide as much information as possible.

Now, is it safe to edit the following information to reflect my administrator/"master" domain?:

- Server's hostname (currently a subdomain of my host)
- NS1 (currently a NS of my host)
- NS2 (currently a NS of my host)
