but this takes me to my the control panel

I added my domain name

now when I go to my domaiin website where I registered my domain
namecheap.com when I try to transfter dns to webhost
what should I type there.
if I type my ip address It doesn't let me type my address there.


this is what it says on the page where I have option to add dns server name


"Please enter DNS name only (ex: ns1.mydomain.com). Please don't enter IP
addresses. You can enter up to five name servers. It is advisable to enter atleast
two nameservers for a domain. Please note that it will take up to 24 hours for
the changes to take effect. "

please help me

At your domain registrer there should be some place where you define/register your dns with your ip address.. after you define/set/register your dns with ip, you use that dns as the dns of your domain... You should find that "dns register page"

after that:
check following:
1- you set up ehcp on a clean ubuntu/debian derivative,
2- you set up your domain at your ehcp
3- you set your dns ip of your ehcp correct as your ip..
4- your redirect your domain to this ip, in your domain control panel of domain registrar..
5- make sure following ports to your server is open for normal hosting operation: 20,21,25,53,80,110,143


after these, everything should be ok.
you may pm or email me if you need help.
see you
