OK so I'm trying add a clients account to my whm and for some reason it won't point to my nameservers. I've already just had them buy a hosting plan with hostgator but for future clients I would like to have this problem solved. shouldn't I be able to change their NS to my nameservers?
There is an option of adding child name servers in domain control panel.
First you need to add your server's primary name server as a child name servers to the client's domain control panel and provide the IP address of your primary name servers. Now try adding your name servers as a client's name servers. This will fix the issue.
Example
You have a domain abc.com for which you have configured nameservers ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com.
STEP 1
Login to clients domain panel and add child name servers to ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com and point the IP Address of server where ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com are resolving and save it.
STEP 2
Now go to the name servers section and change value of client's name server as ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com. You will see this time you will be able to add the name-servers without any issue.

I registered domain on the WHM and create a new user cpanel with the domain, the domain is added to the cpanel. But when i try to browse the domain name it getting server DNS address could not be found.i updated the name servers with my server name, but nothing changed.
when i try to go through myip/~newuser it going fine to the site file, but with the domain name it's not.
You have a DNS issue in this case. Please check your DNS zone with a tool like intoDns:
https://intodns.com/yourdomain.tld
See if you get any errors there. If you do, then you have issues with your DNS configuration. Be sure that you have create the parent DNS servers for your domain if you want to use the DNS from WHM (the parent DNS servers should point to your WHM server ip).
Try using external services to query your DNS server to see if it actually works (like MXToolBox etc). Or you can use nslookup or dig right from your WHM server by connecting via ssh.
I have a VPS server on Digital Ocean and I need to set up this server to host multiple domains with cPanel. I've been trying for 2 days and I can not understand the logic.
My domain is sbcw.com.br
I would like that at the end of this process my domain have function as the nameservers shown in the example below:
DOMAIN : mycustomer.com
NAMESERVERS : ns1.sbcw.com.br
ns2.sbcw.com.br
I need help to successfully configure the records to use my domain as a nameserver for other domains and I have little experience in this segment.
The attachment corresponds to some attempts to find the settings.
Assign the IPs and configure the name servers in WHM as
ns1.sbcw.com.br
ns2.sbcw.com.br
Make sure you have A records added for the name servers on the server with their IPs.
Contact your domain registrar where the domain sbcw.com.br is hosted and register those name servers in order to make them active. Those name servers should ping.
Make sure you have DNS zone created in WHM for the domain sbcw.com.br with the name servers assigned.
So I configured an authoritative name server after reading pages after pages of text regarding the standards of the server and its security. Question is how do I make my server accessible to the public such that they don't need to add my name server to their network configuration in order to access domains registered to that name server? I already have a domain name registered for that name server through a third party domain name provider.
Your registrar will have a way to make your DNS server authoritative for your domain. Look in their control panel for DNS options. When you register your domain they will set the DNS servers to their own, which you can change later. When you set your DNS servers it will take a bit for it to update, so if it doesn't happen right away just wait an hour or so. You should also flush and register DNS on the machine you are trying to access the site from.
FYI - you got down voted because stackoverflow is for programming and not server config questions.
I'm totally new about hosting website and I register a domain in network solution and hosted by hostgator. I tried to register my name server by going to Domain name server option in network solution and enter my name sever's name.However,by going to leafdns.com, I found out that the name servers don't pointing to the right ip addresses as provided by hostgator welcome email. Besides, network solution does not prompt you for a ip input for those name servers, and the domain still point to a construction page.
What would be the problem?
It's not enaught to set up Name Servers for domain, you need add records in it. If you setup hostgator hosting NameServers for your domain, just park your domain on hosting panel and NS records add apear automatically.
Ive bought some domains from a hosting service and i want to point them to my other server. I did so usually by adding a DNS zone of type CNAME to list of DNS es which is set in my domain administration panel. but unfortunately I do not have access to add a CNAME, I can only change my name servers. I have even tried to point the name servers to my own domain name server, but this did not work so. for example I have the name servers ns1.online4iran.com and ns2.online4iran.com. but the domain still does not point to my server. is there a way to handle this situation. shall I start a spicific service on my server to handle this thing?
or should I preform specific configurations on my own domain configuration page?
thanks,
I did notice that some domain sellers do this, not sure why the monopoly. Sometimes, the changes don't reflect immediately. Wait for sometime & if still they don't reflect then do this. Check in the DNS Settings of your domain control panel if you have an option of 'Child Nameservers'. If yes, then you can run DNS service on your server locally & then make the necessary DNS changes on the server itself. Is your server Linux or Windows? Does it have a control panel installed?
