I have a new reseller account that I set up through Voxtreme and I have the IP address to register my own DNS servers. I have not had to do this before. Where do I register these DNS servers with the IP addresses?

with the Registrar, where your domain is registered. Normally u have to login into the Control Panel(domain manager) of the domain which is available at the Registrar's website. And then you should find the way to Register Nameservers. If not contact ur Registrar.

Some registrars don´t have this option, i.e foreign registrars. I have used http://www.netsol.com/cgi-bin/makechanges/itts/host It's free and doesn't require domain registered with them.

Never used Voxtreme, but they are one of the greats Your welcome letter should include 2 IP numbers - input both with your registrar. If you mention their name it would help us a bit. IF your domain registrar is netsol - move it out first.

yup voxtreme is great... and yeah they have 2 IPs included in their welcome/ setup email. Netsol yeah is really pain in *** if u have to modify the records... my customer and me both failed to move anything there so i asked them to transfer to other registrar and it was breeze..

I am currently using NetworkSolutions. What registrar would you suggest that I switch to.

If you are using Networksolutions and you are using you own DNS for the first time, you will need to enter both your DNS and it's IP address. It should ask you for both but if you have a problem you will need to call them directly to give them this information. Good luck. I had a lot of problems with Networksolutions in the past and I won't use them ever again. GoDaddy is the best. Great service and some of the lowest rates that I have seen.

From here on, just use godaddy.com. It didn't even take a full 2 days to propogate.

Please help me : I have this option in my domain name control panel, so is it what I need to create nameservers ? -------------------------------------------- Supply DNS Information" Option [For Technical Customers]: Resolve by the following DNS information (add $5.00 per year extra) Please fill in at least one DNS A-record in the fields below. Host names can contain English letters, English numbers, and hyphens ('-'). Note however that host names must start and end with a letter or number. "A-Record Host Name " - " IP Address " "examples: www, ftp, mail" - "example: 10.1.1.3" ------------------------------------------------------------ So is it what I need ? Regards,

Even if Netsol isn't your registrar, you're probably going to have to go mirror them over there as well- or risk having customers call you to say that Netsol doesn't recognize your nameservers....
