Domain Management on Ubuntu14 VPS (DigitalOcean.com) #204

I find that when you performed operations such as creating a domain and setting its DNS records or sub-domain, the operation is not automatically effected on the VPS. I have to login to the VPS panel to create the domain and DNS.

Also created domsins/accounts do not appear on the list when logged in buy a higher lever user. Eg. Admin does not see domains created buy resellers or by users unless he uses shadow

Sentora is not made to control your VPS.

That is correct. But a module could be made to do such a task (View all domains/sub domains of inherited resellers and users) or use the zGodx module > Virtual Hosts (Shows a list of all domains/sub domains on your server.)

Okay thanks. If you would be kind to explain how www.mach-hosting.com attempts to solve this VPS Domain/DNS auto creation problem.

Does he have to manually do so for every domain he host and every domain hosted my clients in his reseller and user accounts?

Thanks.

There would be a few different ways this could be achieved, he is more than likely using a billing module from somewhere which may offer hooks on client creation of domain and package type to auto create dns. Or he may use the standard on domain creation hook to execute then dns creation.

That's my hosting ;) I do not use a VPS but an actual home server running Sentora's DNS. All DNS is done inside Sentora. Client domains point to my nameservers from the client's domain registar, my nameservers point to my server's IP. Bind/apache does the rest. More info here: http://docs.sentora.org/?node=95

Thanks @TGates71 Can I run my DNS using Sentora's DNS while running a VPS?

eByte23 commented 8 years ago

Yes, I do that.

I don't actually use sentora for client hosting at the moment just use it for my dns,email and few sites

I have 2 vps with sentora and just have dns records in both ns1,ns2
