Create custom nameservers

To configure your custom nameservers, you need to have registered a domain name or manage a domain.

Custom name servers help differentiate you from the competition.

  • As a reseller, your clients can differentiate your brand from others. This is because nameservers are under your custom domain. 
  • Uniformity provides a greater sense of security for your clients, making your nameservers easily identifiable as part of your brand.
  • If you ever switch registrar, your clients will not need to update nameservers.

4. In the DNS area, create 2 new A records (one for each of the new nameservers).

5.These A records should appear as follows with domain.com acting as a placeholder:

ns1.domain.com – 149.255.60.1 
ns2.domain.com – 185.53.57.60

6. After A records have been created, contact the domain’s registrar. Ask them to create glue records for your new nameservers.

7. We will then add your new nameservers to the global list. Ensuring that when you update the client’s domains, the new nameservers will be accepted. Allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate.
