DNS And Registar

Step 1. Log into your domain manager account, via your domain registrar's web site
(i.e. www.godaddy.com , www.enom.com , …)

Step 2: You will need to name your DNS server and insert a valid ip that is bound to your server. This will cause your server to get "mapped" on the Internet as being an operational DNS server.

For this example, my domain name is 'mysite.net' and the IP's bound to my server are “75.126.196.138” (Primary IP) and “75.126.196.152” (Secondary IP). I will be using the hostname 'ns1.mysite.net' bound to the “75.126.196.138” IP, and 'ns2.mysite.net' bound to the “75.126.196.152” IP.

Note : The hostname 'ns1.mysite.net' and 'ns2.mysite.net' are not mandatory. You can use any name along with your domain name. The name 'ns1'
is simply easy to remember for both the sys admin, and the customer.


Step 3: The last step is to basically say which DNS server is authorized to resolve the domain 'mysite.net' to an IP. We will have to input the hostnames that we specified in step 2, which are: 'ns1.mysite.net' and 'ns2.mysite.net'.
