Named (DNS Name Server) question
As suggested by the forum I'm posting in, I'm very new at this, so bear with me please.

I'm using a Virtual Dedicated server (Linux) from GoDaddy and using Simple Control Panel. A few days ago, the sites running off of it stopped working, and I did manage to troubleshoot it to some extent where I found out that the "Named (DNS Name Server)" service wasn't running. I clicked on <Start>, it started, and everything went back to normal.

Same thing happened today, though when I click on <Start> again, it's not starting this time. Even after a reboot, it remains off.

I have two questions then:

1. How do I get it to start again?
2. What could be causing it to stop and not start again so I don't have to keep starting it?

Thanks!

If you are new to DNS, you might benefit from using a different free DNS service.

For example, try:

Reliable Web Hosting, Domain Registration, Free DNS, Free Dynamic DNS, Server Colocation and More
