Domain Name Server (DNS)

How do I configure the RaQ to be both ns1 and ns2? You will need to go into http://www.yourdomain.com/admin, login as admin and click on Site Management, from there, you will click on Add Virtual Site. For hostname you’ll put ns1, domain will be domain.com, IP address will be the IP address assigned . Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to do the same again for ns2, using the same steps then go to your registrar and inform them of ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com and what IP address they’re located at so they can be registered with ICANN as authoritative nameservers before you can use them properly.


What’s a possible downfall of using the as both my nameservers? No redundancy – If  goes down, both nameservers go down at the same time, and all DNS hosted on that will be down until it comes back up.

NON-Authoritative – You will not be authoritative for the IP address located on the, therefor you cannot properly create any reverse lookup records for any IP addresses.
