Hello,
just finished installing apache,mysql and php on my own server to host my first website.I have also created virtual host that works on my networks.
Can somebody help me figure out how can i change DNS A addresses in lookup table(DNS Zones ??)
Do I need to do it with the company I registered the domain with or someplace else?
any help would be appreciated

    It should be done with the registrar. I'm happy to be corrected on this, but I don't think there's any other way of doing it.

    If you are using your domain registrar's DNS servers then you can do it from the domain registration control panel.

    if you are using the name server records of the hosting company, then you can change the DNS zone from the web hosting control panel.

    Hi there,

    Usually changing the DNS records can be done from where you registered the domain. But a lot of them do not provide this service.

    Now in case they dont provide the service, you can go for the free dns services where you just need to point the nameserver to the free dns servers and once your domain gets activated in the free dns service . you can then change the A records of your domain.

    Free Dns Management - Namecheap - I think it is the best, i use this all the time for my domains .


    Hope this was helpful.

    If you still are not able to do this by yourself, contact me and i will help you out.
