I've transfered a domain from 1and1.com to OVH, now I need to manage my DNS to point them to a new server, but running this command from here
command line> nslookup
> set querytype=soa
> mydomain.com
I found out that DNS are still managed from 1and1.
Reading the OVH guide about DNS i found out that i need to activate DNS zone from my manager. But... won't this conflict with the DNS declared on 1and1?
I'm not sure about how is this working, so does someone knows the right workflow to do this?
Thanks in advance
after a call with OVH Support the correct workflow is:
Create or configure the DNS zone
Change the DNS Server to the OVH server
in 24 hours all should work fine, I'll let you know...

i have a mail server behind CloudFlare and when i check some logs and other DNS tools i seen a MX dc-abefc4aaxxxxx that isn't registered in my dns configuration in cloudflare. I tryed checking SOA and always shows cloudflare's name servers.
How can i really see where is this register being pushed?
Finally i solved this issue. Ocurrs when A record to Mail server is proxied and MX not. To solve this unproxy A record.
Here is the solution

I am a noob in the VPS-DNS world.
I purchased a VPS (with one ip) and logged into WHM to setup for production. I configured nameservers to "ns1.a-domain-i-have.com" and "ns2.a-domain-i-have.com".
Then logged into that domain account at my register where I
- set default nameservers from the registrar
- in DNS manager I set ns1, A , my server IP and ns2, A, the same server IP
After creating a host account in WHM using "another-domain-I-have.com", I registered "ns1.a-domain-i-have.com" and "ns2.a-domain-i-have.com" in the custom nameservers.
But my new website refuse to work/ nothing works, I did all these based on the understanding of tutorials I googled.
I have tried
- reinstalled the VPS
- used the default nameserver that came with the VPS host. Although, this nameserver ip is unknown.
- update cPanel
I need some help!
I already got it. It works now. The steps I mentioned aboved did it. Maybe am supposed to take this down but I'll leave it for newbies like me.
I have a VPS from myhosting.com with Plesk 11. I've set up dns in windows plenty of times but for the life of me I can't seem to get this working through Plesk. Here are my settings through Plesk and Godaddy... I asked myhosting about the setup and they said as far as they can see it seems correct but for the life of me the site will not resolve... Any help would be much appreciated!!
Plesk:
GoDaddy Host Names:
GoDaddy Nameserver Settings:
Enter your domain name here http://who.godaddy.com/ and in results:
Check "status" - should be ACTIVE
Check "Name Servers" it should be ns1.v...v.com, ns2.v...v.com
Check that ns1.v...v.com or ns2.v...v.com can be resolved by command:
nslookup ns1.v...v.com
I suppose that it will be NOT resolved because your NS servers are placed in zone which can be resolved yet.
The easiest way is to use some another DNS servers, maybe GoDaddy or some other DNS hoster.
Or you can make a trick:
change domain's DNS servers to GoDaddy DNS servers
In GoDaddy's domain management panel add in DNS zone records with: ns1.v...v.com, ns2.v...v.com
Wait until you can resolve ns1.v...v.com and ns2.v...v.com - it's about 24 hours.
Switch domain's DNS server back to ns1.v...v.com and ns2.v...v.com.
Wait until changes will be visible by other DNS servers like Google:
nslookup ns1.v...v.com 8.8.8.8
All should works now.
My host has changed my IP address in my VPS hosting. This was a planned change they asked me when will it be good for me.
When they've changed my IP I managed to change the 2 nameserver's IP at my domain host so they will point to the new ip now.
I'm using kloxo and I have changed the DNS records for my main domain. It is working correctly with the new IP address now.
However I'm hoiting other domains there aswell but they just can't seem to be loading those sites...
Can anyone please tell me what could be the problem? Maybe change their DNS to the new ip aswell? (But if I do that, won't all my domain point to the main domain?)
The DNS records for those other domains will also need to be updated. Provided that you've correctly set up your VirtualHosts (or equivalent), then changing the A-records of the other domains to match the new IP of your server shouldn't cause any issues.
Right now I have a VPS with DirectAdmin installed on it, on default DirectAdmin is reachted by going to 31.154.241.12:2222 (example ip).
I am trying to set up a dns server that will forward da.mysite.com to 31.154.241.12:2222.
Sitting this up at the hosting company didn't give any errors, but when I try add this line to my DirectAdmin DNS settings it gives the following error:
Cannot Add Record - The value must be an IP address
Doing this would give my customers a better quality of usage and they feel like I provide all the services.
Any ideas?
A DNS server just resolves your hostname (da.mysite.com) to an IP (31.154.241.12). It knows nothing about your port number.
To achieve what you describe, you have to set up some sort of a proxy... Read up on mod_proxy in Apache if you are using it and use a RewriteRule to achieve a redirection from hostname.com:5222 to da.hostname.com, for instance.
