IP instead of name server

[dramr]

Can you use IP address of the server instead of nameserver?

No one has any idea about this?

Nope. You can't.

You would first need to register the nameservers along side the IP address. Then use the nameservers for the domains you would like to point to them.

Thanks for that

Unless they offer a "managed DNS" service.

Depends on the host. Some give you both in the welcome email, but I usually choose the name.

What exactly you mean you want to point the domain to this ip instead of a name server ?

It is the thing happening actually indirectly when you point to the name server, for an ex if you point the domain to a name server

ns1.domain.com it in turn point to an ip hosted at some server.

I think he's talking about pointing his domain with an A record... Maybe you need to use something like EveryDNS.com
