LeaseWeb - DNS




Posted by steelseth, 09-26-2016, 07:52 PM
I found this in my inbox today while I was trying to add a new domain to my VPS. "Dear LeaseWeb Customer, We often receive requests from customers with respect to DNS Only domains. In most cases, we are not able to help them as the domains are not managed by LeaseWeb. To improve our services to customers, we no longer support registering new DNS Only domains and require our customers to transfer or register the domains with LeaseWeb. This will guarantee that we can give our customers the support they expect. Managing your DNS records for already registered DNS Only domains will still be possible. If you would like to use our DNS servers for your domain, you can transfer an existing domain to LeaseWeb or register new domains via the Customer Portal or website. Sincerely, LeaseWeb" Thoughts ?

No way would I do that, but that's just me.

I dont plan to do that also. I opened a support ticket to see if I misunderstood or there is a way around this. In the meantime I started looking for a new server.

That's one misleading thread title if I ever saw one. First of all, LW doesn't require you anything. Second, they're only dropping the NS service, which if I'm not mistaken was free. Want NS? Register a domain with LW. Else use NS services somewhere else.

Seems like they are only dropping their DNS service for domains registered somewhere else, but I do not think they would require you to have a domain in order to use their VPS. You can still easily add your domain to your VPS through your registrar's DNS panel, or you can always build your own name servers.

Yes indeed you can use your registrant for dns it works. When I first read it in a hurry I thought they were dropping support for domains not registered with them. Hosting your own dns is not really an option as they only give you one 1 IP for the vps, so not a good idea. @AcheronMedia-VK sorry if the title is misleading if I could change it I would.

Why is single IP a problem?
