VPS Question... - Whizion - 04.08.2011

So im buying my first VPS and right there on the registration i don't know what to do.

It asks me this:

Hostname:
NS1 Prefix:
NS2 Prefix:
Root Password:

I have a website and a domain, can i fill it in like this:

Hostname: server.mydomain.com
NS1 Prefix: ns1.mydomain.com
NS2 Prefix: ns2.mydomain.com
Root Password: blablabla

And that would work? If no, please be so kind to tell me what do i need to do.

Thanks.

You'll be given 1 or 2 IPs when your VPS has been created, then you should create 2 nameserver records for ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2, and direct your domain to those nameservers.

So, this is correct?

Because my nameservers are already created long ago and their directed to my domain.

You need to create nameservers that point to your new IP(s), your old nameservers are irrelevant and won't point to your VPS.

I already have 2 nameservers configured to point to my website, can i create more nameservers to point to those IP(s) or i have to buy a new domain? And btw. they ask the nameserver information at the begining of the registration, how will i point the nameserver to the IP(s) if i don't know them yet? :/

Yes, your domain registrar should allow you to create another two nameservers. You're asked upon signup so they can pre-register the records for you on the server, so all you have to do is point the nameservers to the IPs you're given.

If you are not using your VPS for web hosting, then that will be fine.
