If I Need My Own Name Servers

[mohits4]

hi,

seems to be a reliable hosting but suppose i opt for Simple Resellers plan, how do i get my own name servers like ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com, (head guru please excuse me for being bit descriptive on nameservers) i also wanted to add something in basic understanding so this question is also helpful to your future visitors

 

Regards,

Having your own name servers is only available in the Standard and Deluxe Reseller accounts. Sorry.

Thanks for the email. I hope you don't mind my posting the reply here.

 

ok, but what would my clients would need to point to if they buy space from me.

 

if i've site www.letmehostyoursite.com and client is www.someonessite.com what will he point to inprimary and  secondary nameservers

will it be

ns1.letmehostyoursite.com

ns2.letmehostyoursite.com

 

or something else

 

If you purchase the Standard or Deluxe Reseller packages, you may request 2 dedicated IP's for the creation of your own name servers using your own domain name. In that instance, your clients would use ns1.letmehostyoursite.com and ns2.letmehostyoursite.com. If you choose not to create your own name servers for use by your clients, you may use the generic name servers created by TCH.

 

However, if you purchase the Simple or Basic Reseller packages, your clients will use the generic name servers created by TCH. These nameservers are very nondescript so your clients won't blatantly see TCH branding on their WhoIs.

 

If you still have questions, please post them here so that others can learn from them too, okie? Thanks!

OK, Lianna - the Reseller page on TCH's Help web site has been updated - click here!

Hey guys, sorry for not getting this *edit* put on yesterday, but....after Rick did some checking and confirming (thanks):

 

For any reseller account, upon request via the Helpdesk, TCH can setup

 

ns1.resellersdomain.com and ns2.resellersdomain.com using the TCH IP's for

ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and ns2.totalchoicehosting.com

 

The the owner of the resellersdomain.com will make the necessary addition with their registrar, using the TCH IP's.

 

Now what that does:

1. Reseller tells resolds to use ns1 and ns2.resellersdomain.com

2. If you use the browser to go to ns1.resellersdomain.com, it will resolve to TCH...NOT the reseller's home page!

 

Just another choice being made available.
