Managing a domain

2 ways

  • from the managera (clicking on the domain tab),
  • starting a dns server on your dedicated .

If you wish to manage a domain on your own server, you need to configure a DNS server. In this case log into the manager, choose a domain, then Domains & DNS, DNS server add your server: nsXXX.ovh.net as NS type. Now start a service on the server, you may use Bind or other name server for that. The server should be configured in the way that our nsXXX.ovh.net is a primary and sdns1.ovh.net is secondary.

Example of configuration:

/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1 #localhost
nameserver 213.251.188.140 #sdns1.ovh.net
search

/etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "localhost.rev";
};

zone "domena.com" {
type master;
file "domena.com";
allow-transfer {
common-allow-transfer;
};
};
