Registering Your Own Name Servers

You can register name servers within your domain, like ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com. Most customers will not need to do this, and you should only do this if you manage your own name servers.

You can follow these steps to create a name server based on your domain:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System
  2. Select Preferences from the drop-down navigation menu
  3. Click Create / Delete Name Servers
  4. Select the domain of the name server, and click Continue
  5. Enter the new name server name and IP address, and click Create

This will register the name server with every top-level registry that we work with.

You can follow these steps to change the IP address of a name server that is registered through us:

  1. Log into the Domain Name Management System
  2. Select Preferences from the drop-down navigation menu
  3. Click Create / Delete Name Servers
  4. Select the domain of the name server, and click Continue
  5. Click Modify next to the name server
  6. Enter the new IP address or addresses, and click Modify
