Answer ID 307

How do I register, update, delete, or check status of nameservers using my domain name?  How do I create glue records for my nameservers?

 

To register a nameserver, please follow these steps:

  • Login to your account.
  • Select the main menu option "Domain - Domain Tools" 
  • Select "Custom DNS registration".
  • Enter the Name Server and IP Address (domain must be in your account)
  • Click "Register Name Server".


You can also click on the tabs to update, delete, or check status of a nameserver for your domain.



You can enter IP addresses in the following format:

  • IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.0.1).
  • IPv6 (e.g., 2001:252:0:1:0:0:2008:9).

In order to register nameservers, the domain in question must be registered with us.  The above instructions will only work for .com, .net, .org and .uk domains.  To register or update nameservers using .EU domains, please see the article, "How to Register or Update Nameservers Using .EU Domains".  To register or update nameservers using other TLDs, please submit a support ticket with the below attributes:

  • Subject: "Register/Update Nameservers"
  • Question: [Include the nameserver hostnames and their respective IPs]
  • Category: DNS/Nameservers
    • General DNS Info


If you would like to use nameservers on a domain of a different TLD (e.g., use ns1.example.com on example.org), please submit a support ticket with the below attributes:

  • Subject: "Register Nameservers on All TLDs"
  • Question: [Include the nameserver hostnames]
  • Category: DNS/Nameservers
    • General DNS Info


If you would like to register or update name servers to use multiple IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, please submit a support ticket with the below attributes:

  • Subject: "Register/Update Nameservers"
  • Question: [Include the nameserver hostnames and requested ip addresses]
  • Category: DNS/Nameservers
    • General DNS Info
