My WHM + cPanel server stopped working after step 5
I currently have a CentOS 6.5 Basic Server OS with WHM + cPanel installed on it. My ISP is AT&T U-Verse with five static IP addresses. What I'm trying to do is basically test my skills on setting up a server without using any offered services other then a registrar for purchasing my domain.
At the moment, I'm stuck on creating my nameservers. Lets hypothetically say my domain is testdomain.com and my servers IP address is 173.2.246.57. I currently have 5 static IP addresses I purchased from my ISP (173.2.246.57 - 173.2.246.61). My Gateway IP would be 173.2.246.62 and my Netmask is 255.255.255.248. I'm using AT&T U-Verse, so my DNS servers are 68.94.156.1 and 68.94.157.1. I know this because that's what the AT&T Technician told me and it's explained here:

Hello :) 1. Yes, it's fine to use any IP address added to your server as a name server. However, keep in mind that you must register your name servers at the registrar, not setup "A" records there. This is explained here: How to Register Private Nameservers 2. Yes, you can use separate IP addresses if you prefer, but it's not required. Technically, you could use the same IP address for the hostname and name servers without issue. 3. You will need to manually delete the existing DNS Zone for "testdomain.com" before creating an account for it, but otherwise, it's fine to use "server.testdomain.com" as long as you don't plan on using it as a subdomain on the account. Remember to setup the "A" record for the hostname after creating the cPanel account. 4. Google's resolvers are fine, but yes, your providers resolvers are optimal. Check with their support to confirm they are your resolvers and proceed with using them. 5. No, other than ensuring you register your name servers at the registrar, as mentioned in answer number one. Thank you. 0
