I'm trying to set up multiple Domains on a single VestaCP Droplet, but I haven't been able to do so yet. I was wondering if anyone knew how to properly setup the DNS settings from a Domain Register(I'm using GoDaddy). I'm not looking for anything like Vanity/Branding DNS, just proper DNS Settings so I can manage multiple Domains in VestaCP. Thanks! I have two domains, lets call them Domain1.com and Domain2.com. For both domains I've pointed their nameservers to ns1.digitaloceans.com & ns2.digitaloceans.com. Now for some reason, only 1 of the Domains will connect when I visit their URLs. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here.

use only DNS at Digital Ocean, you don't have to setup your DNS in VestaCP. I had 4 domain names on one vestacp and all have a standalone website.

    Can you screen shot your DO and VestaCP settings? If it isn't too much to ask for.

    I have my DNS through DO but it only sees the one domain and not the second. I am kind of stumped, but I feel like it is right.

Vesta installs its own DNS server, it cannot add records to Digital Oceans automatically. You will need to manually copy the DNS records that Vesta creates into your DNS settings with Digital Ocean.

In Vesta, select the appropriate account, then click on DNS, and then click the "list X records" link for the domain. The go in to DO's DNS settings, add a domain, and the copy each of the records vesta creates as equivalent records in the DO panel.

First make sure you're using the correct name servers. It's digitalocean.com - not digitaloceans.com.
Once you have done that, you need to set up the appropriate records using the Digital Ocean DNS control panel - an A record at the very least. Just point it at your droplet. The control panel makes it easy.

Hey Larry,
I am using ns1.digitalocean.com & ns2.digitalocean.com, that was a mistake in the comment.

Do I have use both DO's DNS Control Panel in conjunction with the Vesta DNS Control Panel, or am I able to just use Vesta's DNS Control Panel?

I know nothing about Vesta, so I can't advise you specifically on that. I use Virtualmin, which has some DNS functions, but I don't use them. I use only DO's DNS controls, and it all works great.
