Setting up DNS via ZoneEdit

 

One of the advantages of ZoneEdit for an inexperienced user like myself, is that there is no need to write a zone file as such. Instead the entries are made using a web interface where you fill in the blanks and then a zone file is automatically uploaded to their servers.

                  

The editing process began with a warning that nameservers should be changed. I could have continued editing and made the changes later but decided to inform freeparking immediately. This is effected by the user through the freeparking maintenance panel and is very straightforward:

                

I simply followed the screens and entered the new Nameservers  as provided by ZoneEdit - see first screenshot.

Returning to ZoneEdit I entered my IP address (A) and noted that it was already aware of the nameserver switch (although when I typed in

nslookup –type=NS www.fentyler.co.uk the primary name server was still showing as ns3.ukdnsservers.co.uk – I imagine this will change in a day or two)
