VPS

[SilverDragonTears]

I asked for a guide.....

We do not provide a guide as it's expected you can setup a VPS or use guides on how to set it up.

Oops what a horrible webhost. *sigh* Some webhosts actually set them up for you, lol.

Anyway, it shouldn't be too difficult to set up nameservers. You should see a tab called 'domain manager' in cpanel, which will list all available domains you have. Click on one of them and you will notice that there are some new tabs showing up at bottom right: Main, Renewal Option, Contacts, Privacy Options, Name servers, Transfer Epps, and lock. Yours may look a bit different, but the nameservers tab should be available. Click on it and enter the two ips you received from your webhost in empty text fields. You are done if you enter these info correctly, note it usually takes about 12-24 hours for nameserve ips to be fully functioning.

I'm getting a 500 Internal Server :/

[Hall of Famer]

If so, you may have set your nameserver incorrectly. Remember to follow certain format, which should be something similar to this:

PHP Code:

ns1.silvadopts.com 127.0.0.1 


Or something like that if you use cpanel.

hmmm... I'm so confused

[SilverDragonTears]

I see subdomain addon domain and parked

[Hall of Famer]

umm were these all you could see from domain manager? Strange, you should see a tiny tab called 'nameserver' which allows you to specify your own nameserver.

[SilverDragonTears]

I guess that's all?

[Hall of Famer]

Seems that the domain manager for your webhost is different. Guess you will have to set up nameservers in a different way. Would you mind giving me access to your cpanel so I can figure it out? I know it sound kinda weird, but there's no way for me and others to help you without knowing what your webhost is actually providing. Even in cpanels the available services differ from hosts to hosts.

you got a vps right ?
and cpanel on it ( cpanel optimised )

if you want to change nameservers you can do that on 2 ways

first way is with the cpanel setup , there you can select the main nameservers that will be assigned to all new accounts ( whm )

second way and easy'st way to change nameservers is by using the dns tool

in whm ( port 2086 ) you can go to the dns settings

there you add a new A record

fill in the ip adress you like to use of the nameservers and fill in the following information

ns1.yoursite.com
A record
server ip

it explains itself on that page

after that is done , you can use those nameservers at your domain registrar and it will work

if it is your only domain , then it need to be done a little differend

in your domain provider you got a option to assign ip's to subdomains
fill in the server ip and the nameservers name ( the subdomain like ns1 )
after the dns is updated from your registrar then it will work and are you able to assign them to your server

please note , you still need to add the A record into the dns settings or the server can not resolve your ip and it can refuse to work ( just like webpage not found .. )

hopely this can help you
