Hi nbtc971,
On a side note, you guys only sent me 1 nameserver to register.. is that normal? I've never used less than two in the past? Also i'm assuming it could take up to 72 hours for my nameserver info to propagate?
Your VPS server comes with 1 IP address by default and thus you need to register the both nameservers with the same IP, if your domain registrar requires at least two nameservers to be configured. If the registrar requires different IPs for the nameservers which is a rare case, you will need to purchase an addition IP for your VPS. This IP can be later used as a dedicated IP for a site.
Nameserver propagation usually takes about 24 hours but sometimes it can be delayed by various reasons. However, if after 72 hours your DNS info is not propagated, this usually means that there a some kind of error in the settings.
And one more question, does the backup utility in Plesk backup any mysql databases?
Plesk backup stores all account data including settings and databases.
I hope this helps.
