Domains:Private NS


Register Private NS

NOTE: This functionality is for advanced users, if you do not understand what private nameservers are or how to run DNS servers like BIND, then you probably will never use this. You can use our hosted DNS services to point your domain name to end servers.

This feature lets you create and register your private personal nameservers on the Internet to resolve DNS queries for other domain names. This will register the correct child name servers or also called glue records in your domain name with the registrar.

Please note that private nameservers are not related in any way to setting DNS servers in your domain. If you need to point your existing domain name to a specific server or service, please use the Nameservers page to set the servers for your domain.

Private nameservers registration is only useful and required if your domain name is acting as DNS server for other domains, for example, if you are running a DNS service on your domain abc-0123.com like:

  • ns1.abc-0123.com
  • ns2.abc-0123.com

If you are running your own VPS or servers with a DNS software, you can register those custom names here. You still need to configure your DNS settings and the proper records for your domain on your DNS server for your private nameservers to work properly.

INFO: This functionality only registers the glue records with the registrar; it does not create a DNS service or server for you. You need to build and setup the DNS software, servers, IP’s, network and systems on your side.
