private nameserver setup help required

**steve136** · May 22nd, 2008, 3:09 am

My web host has set up the private nameservers (eg. ns1.mysite.co.cc and ns2.mysite.co.cc )for me on my reseller hosting account and given me two ip's (eg. 64.18.142.200 and 64.18.142.201 )addresses but I need to set them up with the registrar and I am a little (well a lot confused) The domain is hosted with w*w.co.cc (free domain names by the way) and I can change A, NS, CNAME, and MX records but what do I set for what ?? Can someone explain it to me in really simple terms, I need the domain w*w.mysite.co.cc to work as my site and the nameservers setup for any future clients to use. Many thanks in advance.....steve

If you have no option to create your own nameserver on your domain panel I am afraid you are pissing in the wind so to speak. I doubt co.cc allow you to make your own private nameservers.

It's best to ask your webhost what to do as it's hard to say without seeing the actual control panel area myself.

If all else fails, you can just use the IP addresses instead of the names.

It's probably unrelated but I used this service the other day to setup a domain for my BF's forum, cause he still doesn't get why you have to pay for a domain.

DynDNS: DNS Hosting, Email Delivery and Other Services

I thought it's pretty neat how they provided a free subdomain, no ads or anything, just pointed it to my IP.
