DNS Question, can someone help me:

[ksinclair]

When I buy domains, there is a default DNS. I used to put a parking site dns for my domains, but I am not going to use parking any more.

At Godaddy you can choose their parking dns or your own custom DNS, but you cannot have forwarding setup for the default for new domain registration.

So I am not sure what to do. I want to setup some kind of default that ends up as forwarding. How can I put a dns of some kind, and that by itself could cause the domain to resolve to something?

Carter,

I am stopping all parking. So I need a dns setting that is not parking. I figure to have some simple forwarding at first for each domain until I have time to give it attention.

But how? To what? Godaddy does not offer it so I have to put the dns of some kind of DNS management site. Any advice?

You could get cheap VPS hosting, add all your domains to your panel (plesk or whatever) and enter the DNS of your host at godaddy. You could pick one domain (with some development) and setup the rest as aliases pointing to it until you peel them off and develop them?

IDK, sorry if I'm off course, but I'm not 100% sure what you plan on doing...

So later, when I buy more domains, would i have to login at the vps hosting and put them in? no way to just automate it? ideally i would like to buy domains, and they forward - nothing else needed to do. Is that possible to setup?

There is no way to automatically buy a domain and have it set itself up for custom name servers and add the record to your host. At least that I know of.

You basically are talking about your own parking script. That's pretty much what the parking companies do. As long as you have your own dns server, yes, you could do it. The results would probably suck though, unless you put a *LOT* of time & effort writing the scripts.
