How to register private name servers

If you have registered a .com, .net or an .org domain name with us, you are entitled to a free additional service - registering private name servers with your domain name. You can do that via the Domain Manager menu (Site Management > Domain Manager) in your Web Hosting Control Panel. Next to each domain name there is a row of icons divided into separate columns. The last but one column is named NS and there is an icon that reads "NS".

Once you click the NS icon, a small pop-up window will appear providing you with two options - to edit the name server settings and to register your own private name servers. The first option lets you change the name server settings of the domain name. More information is available in the "Changing the name servers (DNS) of a domain name" article. If you choose the second option, you will be forwarded to a page where you can set up your own private name servers.

On this page you'll see two fields that you have to fill out. The first one is the name server prefix - usually that is NS or DNS. The second one requires you to provide the IP that will be corresponding to that name server. After that simply click on the "Add" button and that will create the name server for you.

If you wish to set up these private name servers to host your domain name(s) with us, you must use the IP addresses that correspond to the shared name servers for your account. Please refer to the article "What are the correct name servers (DNS) for my domain" to learn how to find those name servers and the IP addresses.

You can also use this menu to create name servers that point to another web hosting server. If that is the case, you must obtain the correct IP addresses from the administrator of that server.
