Hello all!

Would like to know how to properly add an IP of the host for DNS records? possibly without changing nameservers.
Ive added the posted shared IP posted in the control panel to my @ & www records and I get "Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server"
Want to add an IP instead of nameservers.. Anyone care to help a newb out please.

Thanks a lot!

Hi frozen fish,
I think I can help you, because I have been managing DNS for a while.
Can you cut and paste your zone records here so that I can understand what you have done?
Also please explain where (in which DNS records) and why you want an IP instead of nameservers.

Well i need the DNS records setted in the registrar so I can use google apps with it. change the cname,mx, srv and such..
Now im wondering what is the proper @ and www record to be used for add-on domains?

I just copied the IP(shared) posted in my cpanel and typed in the @ and www record on godaddy control panel(ughh.. hate it its teribly slow.) now I get a congratulations message your cpanel and whm are working...

The IP I pasted was 208.87.***.***, but if i use this one for the main domain it works just fine.

Interesting. Are you using godaddy's Off-site DNS? I would like to give it a try. Is it free for domains registered with godaddy?

For the add-on domain you need to work with the DNS zone for that domain, not the DNS zone for the main domain in your CPANEL. Each domain has a different DNS zone. Assuming you are working on the DNS zone for the add-on domain, point the records to the same IP as the main domain. The server will know how to respond.

Again, if you post your records here, it will be much easier to help you. You can edit the IP if you are concerned with making it public (not sure why)

Hello,

Im using godaddys DNS management so just editing zone records @ and WWW.. it's a .info domain from them..

I cannot seem to add addons and parked domains, upon double checking the @ and www records were correct.

Ive also contacted and talked to support, he was really helpful and manually added those domains yet he told me that i have to add xisto's nameservers which i dont want to do... i still want to use the domain registrar's nameservers only change @ and WWW records..

Hmm.. i think it's the cpanel that is having the problem, anyway i am testing it with co.cc domain, ive just changed it to nameserver instead of zonerecords lets see if it lets me add it.

Any help with this is well appreciated.. i do not want to use xisto nameservers but instead godaddy nameserver and point the @ and WWW records here..

The IP im refering to is.. 208.87.***.***

Hi frozen.fish
You cannot add addon domains or parked domains to a DNS zone.
Each domain has its own DNS zone.

Let me help you...Please post your zone records here. Something like this:

Domain laidomain.es

I have removed the final part of the IP addresses because you are doing it, although I am now aware of any security risk if I post the whole IP.
I have also changed the domain, just in case.

What is the danger of posting the actual IP and domain?

---------------------------------------------------

I have not tried godaddy.com's DNS service.

Have you considered using other DNS services?
I have used these free DNS services:

- http://www.xname.org
- http://www.editdns.net
- http://www.zoneedit.com

A couple more services that I have found, but not tried:
- http://www.everydns.com/
- http://freedns.afraid.org/

Also, if you send me your domain names by PM I can analyze them and tell you what you can do.
