I am just starting with my brand new server and i had a question on setting up the DNS Nameserver.

The first thing i did was i went to server beach's dns tool and set-up a domain that i want to host on my own server. I used there default "ns1.geodns.net".

I then typed in the address mylesortho.com as the domain i want to host and added it and set ip up as "master" Then i used the IP Address i got in the e-mail, server beach sent me when they first set-up my server and used that IP address "69.44.57.44".

Then i went to my registrar and typed in the new DNS Nameserver of "ns1.geodns.net"

Did i do this correctly so far?

When i want to host another site will i do the exact same thing and use the exact same IP Address again?

When i get confirmation that i have done everything correctly i will go to the next step and log in to my Web Host Manager for the first time and set-up the domain there. Then i will upload the web site and try to log in thru cPanel.





Thanks in advance for your help

So far so good! You need to make sure you use both nameservers when you register domains though. :)
