    I have my webhosting domain as the DNS servers on the domain. Is there anyway I can still set this domain up to use CPanel? Otherwise, how can I create email accounts and such for it?

    Sure. On my server I'm using www.domain.com for the main domain with the server name being shelby, so shelby.domain.com.

    My DNS servers are ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.

    Question one is Is there any way to setup domain.com with a CPanel account so that I am able to create email addresses for that domain?

    Question two is Why am I unable to set domain.com's dns servers to the ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com? If I set it to that, the domain doesn't resolve...I have to keep them to my hosting providers dns servers.

    Question three, probably something to do with question two, is Why do I keep getting these emails:

    Code:
    IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (shelby.domain.com) resolves to .  It should resolve to 0.0.0.0.  Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.

Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly.  Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.


You may be able to
		automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
		hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager
    I changed the IP to 0.0.0.0 of course.

    For a hostname of shelby.example.com, one should be able to simply create a cPanel account for example.com.

    You may want to have our technical analysts assist you with this issue.

    Be sure you setup the nameservers with the proper IP at the domain.com registrar. then make sure you have the proper A records for them in your DNS, you can edit DNS from WHM to check it. If you went through WHM to setup name servers it should have given you the option to add the A records.

    We're shutting down nameservers - what about active domains?
