Installing Name Server in New Container

To install name server in a specially created Container:

  1. A Container hostname will be registered as a subdomain in one of domains registered for your Provider account. Please specify a Container hostname by entering its subdomain name into the relevant field and selecting one of your domains from the drop-down menu, so a Container full hostname (subdomain.domain) will be shown in two fields named Hostname.
  2. Select the Virtuozzo node the Container will be hosted on from the Hardware node drop-down menu.
  3. Select the OS template for the new Container from the OS template field.
  4. Check the Force use 'also-notify' directive in the BIND config box to automatically add the also-notify directive to the BIND configuration file on the new name server.
  5. Define the IP addresses assignment: If you set the option button to Assign static IP addresses automatically, the Parallels Business Automation - Standard system will check the maximal allowed number of IP addresses for the Container class included in the selected Hosting Plan. Exceeding of maximal number of IP addresses is not allowed and in this case you will get an error message. If you set the option button to Assign static IP addresses manually you can set more IP addresses than allowed for Container class (Hosting Plan). Use Add and Remove buttons to add (assign) or remove (cancel assignment in the case of mistake) IP address respectively. In the case if several IP addresses were assigned manually, you can force using one of IP addresses (set it as default one). To this effect, select IP address (click) and click the Set as Default button.
  6. Define the name server owner, i.e., the account that will have the right to use this name server. To assign the name server to a reseller account, set the option button to Reseller, click the Select button and select an owning reseller account from the list that appears in the popup menu. To assign the name server to your provider account, set the option button to your account name.
  7. In case the name server has been assigned to your provider account, you can define the name server availability policy. To use the name server from Provider Control Center for your own DNS only and make it unavailable for any of your resellers, set the option button to Hosting provider only. To allow using the name server by your resellers, set the option button to Hosting Service Provider and their resellers.
  8. Click the Save button.
