Check your .us domain out here:

https://intodns.com/

If you get this error, your DNS was not set up properly, but .com domains don’t seem to care.

ERROR: Some of your DNS servers do not have A records at all. I could not find any A records for the following DNS servers:
ns1.nameserverdomain.com
ns2.nameserverdomain.com

You must have A records for all of your nameservers.

Also…the IP will be missing:
Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

ns1.nameserverdomain.com. [] (NO GLUE) [TTL=7200]
ns2.nameserverdomain.com. [] (NO GLUE) [TTL=7200]

a.cctld.us was kind enough to give us that information.

Should look like this:

Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

ns70.domaincontrol.com. [‘208.109.255.45’] (NO GLUE) [TTL=3600]
ns69.domaincontrol.com. [‘216.69.185.45’] (NO GLUE) [TTL=3600]

a.cctld.us was kind enough to give us that information.

How do you fix?

– Login to your cPanel/WHM
– Search for Edit DNS Zone
– Select the domain that you set as host/nameserver
– Add New Entries Below this Line
ns1 –> 14400 –> A –> YourServerIP
ns2 –> 14400 –> A –> YourServerIP

Save

Hopefully that will fix the problem.
