    Hi
    I want to direct 2 different domains to the same single server and these 2 different domains are registered with different domain registry.

    Based on GETTING STARTED GUIDE, I should create separate A record with each domain register and point to Default Server Main Hostname? But the question is if the hostname is like hostname.newdomain1.com. How come I point hostname.newdomain1.com with my newdomain2.com? Anyone can help? Thanks.

    Each domain's DNS A record needs to point to server's IP address not hostname :)

    So if you have domainA.com and domainB.com and setup new Centmin Mod server you would probably have
    • hostname.domainA.com for main hostname and DNS A record to server IP
    • domainA.com and DNS A record to server IP
    • domainB.com and DNS A record to server IP
