Where do I start?

Hi y'all:

I just signed up for an account here. It's really nice to see the kind of hardware Andrew's got dathorn running on. Nice piece of equipment! The loads are even lower than my home computer's.

Ok, got a question:

I registered my domain at Yahoo (4.95 is a pretty good deal). I went and edited both DNS(1-2) and set them up to the ones I received on my welcome e-mail.

Then, I went to my WHM panel and setup my domain (the one I want to have as my main domain). I didn't mess with DNS setting at all here. I type my domain.com on the browser and still takes me to the yahoo default page.

Do I need to setp up any DNS zones on my WHM? I'm using dathorn's DNS's, so it should work automatically, yet it doesn't.

I changed my domain names about 24 hours ago and somehow DNS changes at yahoo propagate faster than anything else (sometimes in less than 1 hour).

Should I wait 24 more hours, or there's something I'm missing here?


Best regards,


Carlos...

No, that sounds like everything you need to do. You can do a couple of things to check and make sure:

Go to www.dnsstuff.com and do a "whois lookup" for your new domain. It should show the Dathorn nameservers if everything is propagating correctly. Also, you can do a "dns lookup" on the right top of the page and look up the "A" record for your domain. It should report back the ip address of the Dathorn server.

If both of the above check out, everything is working fine and you just need to wait.
