I'm not sure if this topic goes here but anyways.. I'm about to sign up for a new domain at godaddy.com and it is asking for nameservers and I'm not sure what I should put in.. they are able to 'forward this domain name to another website' or I am able to 'use another hosting provider' - not sure what to do here. I'm not sure if I want to install bind because I want something more stable than my own hosting account.. just need some direction here.

Good question.

I would like to provide managed DNS service for clients, but that's not going to help you in the short-term.

You should explore for domain name registrars that provide self-managed DNS options -- ones that have a control panel to create A records and MX records and such.

I know that register.com does this, and Yahoo! Domains, believe it or not. Not sure about Verisign (probably). Not sure about any of the OpenSRS registrars.

I use http://www.zoneedit.com/

I've been with them for about 2 months and have had no problems. They will let you host 5 domains for free. Web interface isn't very pretty, but it's effective. Updates get enacted very quickly too. Some of the free DNS services changes don't show up to the rest of the world for up to a day.

I ended up signing up with namecheap.com. 8.88 is good for me. plus they have a pretty neat control panel. i set the A record (www) for my website to my ip address. I can access my website to www.croomshine.com. I was wonder how I can access my website to just only croomshine.com. Thanks.

Not sure how namecheap.com does it, but you'll just need to make an A record for croomshine.com and point it at your IP. In bind, you'd put and "@" symbol instead of the hostname (www) for the DNS record.

If you fill out a support ticket with what you want your IP to reverse to, I'll make the changes on my end.

I tried a couple of the links in this thread, but they seem to be down.

Anyway, I (perhaps prematurely) signed up for hostway.com $7 deal. The only options I have to edit are Primary DNS hostname, secondary (and also 3rd - 6th DNS hostnames), and I can also do Domain Name Forwarding.

I want the simple setup where a user types www.mydomain.com and it goes to my ip, but I of course, don't want my ip to show up in the browser cause that doesn't look very nice.

Is it a hack to have Hostway "domain forward" to my IP on linode, and then have Caker do the "reverse" thing that's mentioned on this thread? Or is "domain forward" just friendly terminology for the "a record" that I've read a little about?

Thanks all.

Start out by looking over this. If that doesn't answer your question, give me a little more info and I'll see if I can help. Which hostway plan did you sign up for? Is it one of these? They all have different features and without knowing which one you have I can't help you.

Guess I'll be moving my domain business away from Network Solutions this weekend. ..and applying some still bleeding patches to a few servers so that it doesn't take a week for users to find out they misspelled an email address, not to mention my mail queues filling up with bounced spam that can't be delivered but keep trying because there is an A record for the spammer's made up domain.


So who would you (anyone) suggest to register domains with? I was going to use godaddy, however advertising "domain by proxy" from their main page, and all their dirty dns tools makes me think very poorly of them. How is mydomain.com? Any others that anyone has had good luck with?
