How do I create custom nameservers?
To configure your custom nameservers, you need to own 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 own 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. Giving you more freedom to switch between provider.
If you intend on using a CDN (i.e Cloudflare). You will need to configure any custom nameservers with them.

This involves advanced DNS settings. If you need assistance, please contact support.
- Head to the control panel, where you manage the DNS for the domain you wish to use.
cPanel Zone Editor
Plesk DNS Settings
- In the DNS area, create 2 new A records (One for each of the new nameservers).
- These A records should appear as follows:
ns1.domain.com – 149.255.60.1
ns2.domain.com – 185.53.57.60
Domain.com is a placeholder for your chosen domain
- After A records have been created, contact the domains’ registrar. Ask them to create gluerecords for your new nameservers.
- 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.
- Please allow some time for the DNS to fully propagate.
