DNS...need help and possibly an explanation

Postby BanditZA on Tue Aug 22, 2006 6:24 pm

hey all

Suppose i were to procure the domain "bandit.za.net" (just an example). Would it be possible to set the dns of my current webhosting here to that address? Sorry i know my wording is bad, im in a rush Smile lol. Does phoenix have a free dns service or must i use an outside one?

We can't give an IP to single users, since we have more users than IPs.
There is no "dns service" other than nslookup you can use. And for this one you can use the local one, yes. Any others, as far as present, should be controlled by the admins (or domain owners which are always one of the admins).

Summary: you can make bandit.za.net point to phoenix, but not phoenix point to bandit.za.net (rDNS).

Buy your domain, set the nameservers to pns1.anoxs.net and pns2.anoxs.net then add the domain in your directadmin account. If you want to have it in addition to your username.phoenix-hosting.org subdomain PM me and I'll give you a higher domain allowance otherwise just delete the phoenix-hosting.org one first.
