This is not my strongest point so any help/advice very much appreciated.

I am looking for a dns forward service but not sure if this excists. basically i want to change nameservers on domains and then have them nameservers point to a holding page. this will (i think) elimate me having holding pages for all domains.

Like i say im not clued up on this so any advice, solutions etc very much appreciated.
 
No Offence Paul but I hope there is no such service, I just entered 900 names manual into my server, if there is then I'm about to cry.:cry:
 
haha sorry, but there is such things available but im not sure the best way.
 
cpanel can do this.

Pick a domain with its own nameservers and use the "parked domains" option to park names on top of it. Change the domains nameservers to that of this domain.

Add a "referrer" script to pick up what domain was typed in to create dynamic content per domain.

Yup, it's not that difficult to do, especially if you have your own server :)
 
I've been trying to figure this out for a while also...

IE: You have nameservers @ ns1.yourdomain.com, ns2.yourdomain.com
Whenever you change a domain's nameservers to those, the system will automatically pick it up ... I believe it's called Wildcard DNS... Sedo, Namedrive etc. use it, so any domain will resolve with those nameservers.

I have cPanel, eXtend and Parallels control panels - but still don't know how to work it out on any of them?!
