Hi all!

It's me again. :rolleyes:

There seem to be two places where you can manage the DNS of the domain that the account is registered on. In the Administrative account, E.Manager, DNS Manager and in the Service Account, Domain Settings, Domain Info, DNS Configuration.

Can someone explain to me how these two options relate to eachother and what to manage where?

Or just send me the URL of the FAQ... :baby:

Thanks,

Ton.
 
Hi

In the administrative account, what you are managing through E.Manager is your service domain.

If you decide to host your service domain in a service account, you can also manage some of its DNS settings there (like add A, MX, etc. records). The E.Manager is basically designed to allow you to setup server aliases and your name servers for it
 
And how do these two DNS settings for the same domain relate to eachother? E.g. when i create a host.domain.com in my service account, the rest of the world cannot see this host. I know this because i have a web2.mydomain.com which i configured in the service account and the web was inaccessible, i got the "under contruction" message from your systems. When i configured this web2.mydomain.com in my administrative account, the web is available again.

So how do these two DNS settings relate? One has precedence over the other? Are the entries added up? How does it work?

There is no such thing as precedence
And none of these DNS entries are configured to open any site so that is why you get under construction

When you add a custom DNS entry to a certain IP, you should be able to ping it almost immediately. That is what these custom DNS records allow you to do

I recommend you stick to the reseller step-by-step guide. Setup the service domain as specified and you should be ready to go
