How To Change Nameservers Linux

if you just got a dedicated server from Webune, its helpful to set your DNS name servers on your Linux servers.

this short tutorial will show you about setting the name servers on your linux configuration.

to setup or change you DNS nameservers, all you have to do is edit the resolv.conf file. first login as super user

if you are a Webune Customer, and dont remember your root or superuser password, please contact us.

once you have logged int as superuser you can proceed by executing this command in your ssh:


SHELL COMMAND:

NOTE: i am using nano to edit this file, but you can use vi if you wanted to. nano is much user friendly if you are beginner. if you are a pro, then vi would work also.

when you send the command above, you should see someting like this:

search myhost.example.com
nameserver 192.168.1.100
nameserver 192.168.2.100

as you can see, the first nameserver has an ip address of 192.168.1.100 and my second nameserver has 192.168.2.100 - here you can change the ip address to whatever nameserver you want

hope that helps
