[the-ferret]

So I am new to hosting but I have decided to build my site from scratch rather than use WHCMS as I want total control and to understand how it all hangs together. I have got the enom api working to check and buy domains and the plesk api working to automate setting up new accounts on my reseller package (using PHP and curl functions to pass xml api messages).

Next question is regards DNS hosting. When I buy the domain from enom, do I specify the EUK nameservers and then set up all of the DNS records on Plesk ..... or do I use enom for the DNS hosting and just point the A record to the IP of my euk hosting server? I am leaning towards hosting DNS on euk but want to be sure that is the right thing to do.

cheers
