DNS and domain set up for office base hosting

ATprod — Wed, 04 May 2011 11:48:19 GMT

We purchased a web server and would like to host our website from the office.

I ordered and received the static IP.

The router model is 2701HGV-C

I can not find a tutorial on how to set up the dns with our static ip.

We have two domains both with different domain registrars but not BT.

I need to set up the name server on the router? But how?

With the registras I have I dont have control over the dns records. I can only enter ns1 and ns2

Thank you for your help

If you are trying to re-point your domain name(s) to a web server on your IP address, you will need to have the "A" records re-pointed by your domain host. Usually, a web-based system is provided which would allow you to edit the domain names "Zone File", which contains the records pointing to web, mail servers, FTP location, etc.

Since it seems that your current domain hosts don't allow you to do this yourself, you would need to contact them to have this done for you.
