Free DNS Configuration

G

Free DNS Configuration is what I am looking for. A long Googling but sad me......

Domain Name Registration Under XY CCTLD is free at my place. I could easily register as many domains as I want as per TOC of the registrant but the woe lie on filling the form with Primary/Secondary Name Server Hostname and IP Addresses.

I want you smart guys (gals, I rarely saw their profile) help me out with configuring DNS with free DNS service providers so that I can use my domain name with Google Apps.

I don't understand really technical terms so and idiot's guide is sought for, (though I have been configuring my another domain name bought from GoDaddy and used with Google Apps).

I even know if I can use the control panel of GoDaddy for this ccTLD confoguration.

Please, help me out. I welcome fully explained replies, single liners go to the dustboards!

take a look at this.

explains how to set up Google Apps with free DNS service (everyDNS) and also free domain name

^^ Million thx buddy

ABT Re: Free DNS Configuration

Thanks >slugger< but this was not EXACTLY as I intended. I already have registered my domain where I just need to fill 2 blank spaces each for primary server address+IP and secondary's.
This means... again absolutely no idea, let me try from everyDNS.

>karnivore< YOU RECEIVE A PARTIAL B*S

if you already got a domain name thenl the co.cc part of the post is not really applicable to you

if you are using everydns [ie 3 party DNS service], then in your domain registrars control panel you will just have to add the address of everDNS's nameservers - ns1.everydns.net, ns2.everydns.net, ns3.everydns.net, ns4.everydns.net

a minimum of 2 Nameserver entries are needed [and also enough]

1) My site is hosted at byethost.com
and have added the nameservers at godaddy.com

namservers :
ns1.byet.org
ns2.byet.org
ns3.byet.org
ns4.byet.org
ns5.byet.org

and have changed the MX records for google apps......

what if i put up nameservers of edit dns in my godaddy domain control panel(alongwith byethost)

ns1.everydns.net
ns2.everydns.net
ns3.everydns.net

and create only CNAME record with editDNS and rest of the mxrecords with byethost.com.......
or Mxrecords and CNAMEwith editDNS and site hosted at bytehost ?

will it work?

my site will be hosted at byethost.com only
i only need editDNS to get CNAME record as byethost doesnt allow me!

AFAIK you can not enter the Name servers of two different DNS services in your domian registrars control panel at the same time

y dont u use the DNS services of editDNS only

create all MX, CNAME etc records in editDNS. Then in order to point your site - www.himtuna.com to the server hosting it (byethost's), just create an A-record pointing www.himtuna.com to the IP of the server hosting it.

try to keep your domain host, domain registrar and DNS service independent of each other. its a safe prcatise

one more problem
byethost keeps on changing the ip address of its nameservers...

so how frequent will that be???

and how do i obtain it ping namserver ????HOW?

and which free host to choose ?
Awardspace, freehostia, byethost ???

I don't think its good according to the standards. Nameservers require never changing static IP addresses.

allright
1)changed the nameservers to everydns
2) Moved the MX records from byethost to everydns (mail is working perfectly)
3) created A record for byethost....not working???
please tell me the steps to create it? shall i give a range of IP adresses.

wat IP did byet host give you when u registered?

*uploads.shubhspace.co.cc/20080314visitwithoutwww06.gif

just replace the IP and domain name with the one applicable to u

1)just open the site

www.abacusclub.org
abacusclub.org
when i open it byethost opens up ???? what do i do now?

2)what the hell is this Axfr record

Axfr Control:
Currently: everyone has access to abacusclub.org's zone data

detail at everydns

abacusclub.org A 209.190.16.82 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX aspmx.l.google.com 1 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX alt1.aspmx.l.google.com 5 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX alt2.aspmx.l.google.com 5 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX aspmx3.googlemail.com 10 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX aspmx5.googlemail.com 10 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX aspmx2.googlemail.com 10 3600 [delete]
abacusclub.org MX aspmx4.googlemail.com 10 3600 [delete]
calender.abacusclub.org CNAME ghs.google.com 3600 [delete]
docs.abacusclub.org CNAME ghs.google.com 3600 [delete]
mail.abacusclub.org CNAME ghs.google.com 3600 [delete]
sites.abacusclub.org CNAME ghs.google.com 3600 [delete]
start.abacusclub.org CNAME ghs.google.com 3600 [delete]

how long have you waited after making the changes in everydns?

domian records take upto 24 hrs to take effect [24 is a safe assumption]

----------
BTW r u creating secondary domain records? or r u syncing ur domain records?

if not, then disable AXFR

and even if u syncing, then allow axfr access only to the IPs of ur other nameservers

but the mail.abacusclub.org opens the byethost.com site ?? why

the cname record for mail has already been created then why?????

its easier to create subdomain then create redirecting page to google apps.
LOL

I have registered a domain name with godaddy.com . Now I am using DNS manager of GoDaddy. I want to host the website on a different web hosting along with all the DNS settings at GoDaddy.

For example, I have registered the hosting service at free hostia. I added my domain (mydomain.com) to free hostia account as a hosted domain. Now it asks to update the name severs to dns1.freehostia.com / IP: 64.72.112.12 and dns2.freehostia.com / IP: 64.72.112.15

If I will update the name servers,I could not use GoDaddy DNS manager. How can I use free hostia as my host with GoDaddy DNS manager?

What I did added two A records in my DNS manager with the IP addresses of the Name Servers of Free Hostia. Now it's showing Free Hostia Control Panel Login page. What I have to do, to see my webpage?
