Register nameservers with Directi

[ithosts]

A Cusomter has registered their domain name with Directi. Is there a way to register custom nameservers using directi? For example, for http://www.domain.com I want to register ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com. I already have static ips for this domain on their dedicated server.

 

Thanks.

If you look in the customer area under My Domains and press view details next to the domain in question and scroll to the bottom you should see a button call register namesevers. From here you can register the nameservers.

 

Hope that helps

When I goto the client area as above, I see the following:

Nameservers (current nameservers)

Registrar Lock

and Management tools.

 

Am I missing something?

[phenglai]

Do you not see the Register Namserver button under the management tools section?

[ithosts]

All I have under management is Renew domain and contact information

Did you sell the domain through your Directi account or did they point their server to you?

[ithosts]

The domain was purchased from within WHMCS through my directi account.

I have never seen this before. After reading my previous question, the question I asked made no sense since if they updated their nameservers it would not be in the My Domains section.

 

This is going to be one for thw WHMCS guys. You could add the nameservers manually at Directi but it should be there in your client area.

 

I use both eNom and Directi and Isee the register nameserver on all my domains I have under my control.

 

Sorry I could not help you any more.

In directi's administration panel Go to Last 10 Domains or just to the domain

of your client, click manage and from the top links you can create ns1./ns2.domain.com from the link "Child Nameservers".

 

I dont know if this is what you want but give it a try.

Yes, as chrismfz states above, you want to use Directi's Child Nameservers to create private nameservers for the domain.

Which version of WHMCS are you running? This was introduced in 3.6.1, have you updated your templates since then?

I've had the same problem trying to find out how to do this.

 

So far, I've gone to Manage child nameservers and added the nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com and added the IP addresses for each.

 

I'm assuming that's all that it needs, but I'm sure I'll have to wait a couple of days before knowing for sure

 

At the moment, checkdns.net is saying this for a domain that I've pointed to my new nameservers:

 

DNS server ns1.domain.com[123.456.789.10] is alive, but not authoritative for domain 'domain2.com' and didn't return SOA

[uberhost]

So far, I've gone to Manage child nameservers and added the nameservers ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com and added the IP addresses for each.

 

As long as you've done that and also added ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com as your nameservers, you should be fine. Of course, these nameservers need an "A" record in your DNS zone.
