What is my nameserver?

[scorpio66]

Hi.

 

OK. REAL newbie question here.

 

My reseller account is registered with Wesh.co.uk.

In my WHM account it says my namservers are ns1.wesh.co.uk and ns2.wesh.co.uk

 

Back in WHMCS when setting up my server, what do I put in the nameserver fields?

Do I paste the wesh nameservers in here?

Somebody said that I needed to change my nameservers in WHM to ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com for example and use these.

 

Which is correct?

Sorry for the newbie question, but when you are new to hosting, knowing some of the basics would help I guess!

 

Regards Chris

Hi newbie here to but i think there both right. it depends on what you want to set. do you want customers to see a nameserver of ns1.wesh.co.uk or would you like it to say ns1.yourdomain.com

 

to make the chances so its yourdomain is not that hard you just need need to change DNS records where you got your address from and update DNS zone in whm. in all likelihood there is probably a tutorial somewhere on the site of where you got your reseller package from.

 

i hope this helps and if im wrong someone let me know because i will have messed this up to (but seems to be working for me)

Hi,

You should look at creating your own name servers. The reason for this is that you currently have a reseller account but if you decide to move to dedicated or to another reseller in the future you would need to change all the name servers on your hosted domains.

 

If you use your own name servers from the start then you would not run into this problem in the future as you would move the name servers with you.

 

I would also say don't use your own domain for name servers as it prevents you from easily moving your domain if other domains are using its name servers.

 

Register a new domain something like myservernumber1.com and use that for name servers.
