I am trying to setup a private name server in the welcome email i got

your domain ip is 69.73.156.5

and the name server i should point to is
Primary Server Hostname: ns.nocdirect.com
Primary Server IP: 69.73.130.223
Secondary Server Hostname: ns2.nocdirect.com
Secondary Server IP: 69.73.180.70

should i point
ns1.sitename.com to 69.73.156.5
ns2.sitename.com to 69.73.156.6

or
ns1.sitename.com to 69.73.130.223
ns2.sitename.com to 69.73.180.70?

which is correct.

please help:P

thx.

Shared / SDX accounts do not have private name servers. You will need to get Reseller Account and can request two IPs for your private name servers.

Since this is in the Shared Forum I am going to assume your not on a VPS, if you are stop reading...

You will need to point the ns names to the IP for the Name Servers JPC Operates not the IP of your account,

Unless you have a reseller account that comes with "custom" name servers then you will need to get the IP's from JPC.

BLAH BLAH BLAh, unless you have changes some security settings, I use to assign ns1 and ns2.myname back do the nocdirect ips, and it worked perfectly fine...

If we change the IPs of our name servers, which we can for any reason, your ns will be broken. And yes, we do not need to notify anyone of that change because that does not concern anyone and that is whole point of using ns.
