Specifying the Name Servers for a Domain

A name server is a host that translates the text name of a domain into the numeric IP address of that domain. Parallels Pro Control Panel is bundled with the BIND service, which enables an Parallels Pro Control Panel server to act as a name server. By default, your Parallels Pro Control Panel server is set as the master name server. You can update this setting when you create a domain.

To configure or update the name server settings:

  1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page , click Add IP-based Site or Add Name- based Site (Sites section).
  2. On the Add Site form, click Advanced.
  3. In the Master field (DNS section), enter the name of the master server.
  4. In the Slaves field (DNS section), enter the name of the slave server. If you want to specify multiple slave name servers, enter each name on a new line.

You can configure Parallels Pro Control Panel to function as one of the following name servers for a domain.
