Just trying to set up my name servers.
Ok. I have been given the IP:
216.40.246.170 and 216.40.246.171
So I have done this:
1) added the IPs to the IP Aliasing system in plesk. This means that
http://216.40.246.170 now goes to my server.
2) Registered the IPs with my register. ns1.techuk.com and ns2.techuk.com are registered as the WHOIS shows:

4. Added entries in plesk for the domain techuk.com. It now looks like:

5. Set up techuk.com as a Name Based (i don't want it to use its own IP but the only option was to use Name Based on 216.40.246.39)
However, www.techuk.com does NOT work.
Any ideas?
