Setting up name servers with Plesk!

[1ONE]

Well I have a problem , I don’t know how to set up nameservers on my Windows VPS ? Should this be done with Plesk or with WINS ( Windows nameserver service ). Is this nameserver thing somehow related with DNS templates?

I have read all .pdf documentation that comes with Plesk with no answer in there. At this point all I want is to set up few sites to see how Windows VPS server handles visitors :) .

One more question.

On my VPS I can see that there is Apache 2.0 installed , so I’m now wondering how IIS 6 and Apache 2 function together ? Best I can think of this strange “brotherhood” is that Plesk actually use Apache for itself , for panel ? Or am I misunderstand something ?

I’m very satisfied with my Windows VPS , keep up good work :)

I expect it's no different to linux. You need to go to server -> DNS and add nameservers to your zone. But yes you need to edit the template so future domains created use your nameservers defined.

If you need help setting this up please email support, but I will explain how we do our easy start on linux.

1. remove the current A nd NS records for ns
2. add a new A record for ns1 and ns2, using your first 2 ips
3. add NS records for ns1 and ns2

On linux plesk runs its own instance of apache so I am sure its the same here, and IIS is used for the web hosting.
