How to set up hostname and DNS in DirectAdmin

Note: Before setting this up, I suggest you have your DNS configured at your domain registrar, by either setting up custom DNS, or pointing A records.

Log into your DirectAdmin

Under Server Manager, click on Administrator Settings.

Click on the 2nd tab called Server Settings.

In the Server’s Hostname field type in your desired hostname ex: server.mydomain.com

In the NS1 field type in ns1.mydomain.com

In the NS2 field type in ns2.mydomain.com

Also, while you are here, you can set your time zone as well if you like.

Click on the green save button below.
