Nominet Creating Nameservers Technical Issue

[Nick11380]

Hi everyone,

I'm really new to the technical aspects of nameservers and i.p addresses so excuse me if this is complete nonsense:

I have a domain name on my TAG that I want to create a nameserver for. I want to host the domain on Heart Internet. Can I create nameservers that are linked to Heart Internet via an i.p address?

Any help is hugely appreciated.

You can't create a nameserver yourself - but heart can do it for you...

Only ISP's can create the nameserver glue record - a good overview here..

If you've got a heart reseller account then they call it 'Virtual Nameservers' and they cost £100 per year!

Hope that helps..

Tony.

If it's on your TAG then you can create the glue records via the automaton - not sure if you can do it via Nominets control panel.

Automaton command is:

operation:modify
key:domain.co.uk
dns0:ns1.domain.co.uk 1.2.3.4
dns1:ns2.domain.co.uk 1.2.3.4

Obviously, as above, you're going to have to have everything set up at Heart as well for everything to work/resolve.

I've used 123-REG in the past. The nameserver part of their control panel is good. Retagged to 123-REG, created nameservers, retagged to mine.

As Grant says, you can do it that way as well.
