Can we have nameserver aliases

[ixie02]

I have a major problem. We use several domain registrars and some won't let me register a name server unless the tld of the name server is registered with the registrar. Since H-Spere assigns my name server names, if I can't add nameservers or aliases, I will have to transfer all my domains to one registrar. Is there a way to create an alias like ns2.alias.com and have it forwarded to my admin account name server, ns3.mynameserverassignedbyH-phere.com.

Your description sounds a little confusing to me. Are you saying these registrars need to have your name servers listed w/ them or registered? You do have your name servers setup as ns.yourservicedomain.com, right? I don' think you can alias in a way that the reg will accept. I would say stop using them. Places that force things like that scare me. You have to be very careful of registrars, I see people lose domains often. Having a technical reason is one thing, but still not acceptable to me.

Well, I thought ENOM.COM and Register.Com were good ones. But if you want to register a name server on their server then the doamin must also be registered their.

I'm a little lost as to what your trying to achieve.

Your nameservers only need to be registered with one registrar, this would usually always be the same one that you have the domain registered with.

I'm not sure what you mean about HSphere assigning you nameservers, you create them as part of your setup and they're based on your service domain name.

You should have nsx.yourdomain.com aliases in you cp under e.manager-server aliases. Then as Brangwyn said that domain is registered w/ a registrar and child nameservers setup. There should be no need to do this at other regs just put in the nameserver info under the reg's domain. Make sure you know what correct ns to put there because hsphere will assign it. For example ns and ns1 are not being used on new domains, they still need to be setup as child nameservers of your service domain tho. See?

REG1------------------------------REG2

svcdomain.com
|___ ns.svcdomain.com <------ customer domain

First of all the domain in question is williambarberinc.com. If you type that url in your browser it goes somewhere I never seen before - not the normal contol panel. The name servers for my service aacount, alltech-computers.com, were registered years ago at register/namebargain.com. The domain in question williambarberinc.com is registered at ENOM. ENOM won't let me register a name server for my service domain because the domain is registered at register/namebargain.com.

Are you saying that if i register a domain name at one registrar I don't have to register it ever again at another registrar?

Yes...you can't this would create total CHAOS. You can transfer it. If your domain is going wierd places...most likely it is setup wrong.
