The glue record is only a helper. The A/AAAA record has to pre-exist in your domain as well. Check if there is a trailing point to your ns's fqdn or not.

Does it mean that if I enter host ns1.mydomain.com IP address 3.3.3.3 in the control panel, the Netcup panel's software will first query 3.3.3.3 to check if it serves mydomain.com before allowing the entry to succeed?

If so how can check that the nameserver IP address I've been assigned by the service provider will reply whether or not it has been configured to serve my domain, eg query 3.3.3.3 to see if it provides name service for mydomain.com.

The provider has given 2 IP addresses which I use for ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com in their DNS configuration page and both fqdns have trailing dots. They are automatically added if I miss the trailing dot. So I guess if they are correclty configured there must be a way of querying the IP directly to check if provides name service for the domain.

So, to be sure:

You (registrant) want to register a domain from netcup as a registrar and use external nameservers to serve the SOA of that domain/zone.

(=Option 3)

Yes this is what I want to do. I having the problem described in https://forum.netcup.de/netcup…-the-authorit/#post205408

It seems the necessary glue records cannot be created in the DNS panel.

Error: IP address ns2.domain1.de in incorrect format. Please enter an IP address in valid IPv4 or IPv6 format.

Since the name server host name is the managed zone, you have to enter an IP address for it (glue record).

You also need to specify at least 2 name servers for this domain.

When I try it this is the error I get? I'm not sure whether the IPv6 address is also required.

> Since the name server host name is the managed zone, you have to enter an IP address for it (glue record).

This is the troublesome part because it doesn't say how the glue record must be added.

There is another thread here on the topic which doesn't seem to have been resolved properly - https://forum.netcup.de/admini…r/16992-dns-glue-records/

Does Netcup have a guide to setting glue records?

I want to completely delegate a domain.com purchased at Netcup to an external DNS server, but I also want to make the domain its own DNS server, ie be able to set ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com system.

From what I understand I must create 'A' records to the external DNS in the Netcup control panel, eg ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com, then select 'own nameserver' at the bottom of the panel and add ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.

Then I also have to create the ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com A records in at the external DNS configuration.

Is this correct?

From what I understand this is known as creating glue records.

FWIW the external system is a CPanel system, but I assume the Netcup end of the configuration should be the same regardless of the external system.

Why would you then go through netcup's domain order process in the first place?!?

Because it is cheaper?

No, IPv4 addresses can only be bought and applied to vServers. Webhostings all share the same IPv4 for their respective host.

Why do you need unique IPs per domain?

Not for every domain, but in case some clients don't want to share IP address with others, such as avoid their IP being linked with other domains unrelated to them.

Each webhosting account has it's own, dedicated IPv6. But all accounts on the same server share one IPv4.

Can reseller accounts have their own IPv4 for the main account, then purchase additional IPv4 for the separate domains they host?

When it comes to mail servers and webservers for webhosting accounts does Netcup give each webhosting account its own IPv4/IPv6 for http and email, or does it simply use CNAMEs to point to number of shared IPs?

It is possible to request dedicated IPv4/IPv6 for these services?

I want to order a domain name which will be hosted externally, separate from my webhosting accounts and want to know if the default assigned IP Addresses, DNS and email servers will be different, and not just by pointing different CNAMEs to the shared IP addresses.

When I go through the order process I get the options:

• Assign Hosting
• Domain Parkers
• Own DNS Settings

What is the difference between Domain Parkers and Own DNS Settings?

Domain Parkers it seems will link to Netcup's default DNS settings, but not configure services or link to landing pages.

If I set Domain Parkers initially will I be able to convert it to Own DNS Settings which I assume enables me to point to external name servers?

Yes, you are right. You can add more than one to your Webhosting 1000, but you have to pay a setup fee starting with the second external domain in your case.

Does this also apply to the reseller plans?

Do external domains also incur a setup fee?

How about domains transferred to netcup or ordered from netcup?

When you upgrade from one webhosting plan to a higher plan, are the upgrades transparent?

ie. your quotas and limits and storage are automatically upgrade and the new features are added,

or do you have to order the new plan and copy all your files, mailboxes, databases etc over?

How many external domains can be added to webhosting 1000 for email purposes?

Can you add as many as you like so long as the email boxes and storage allocation are not exceeded?
