If you've chosen to have private
nameservers for your reseller plan, you should
immediately register these new nameservers with
their corresponding IP addresses with your domain name
registrar. The IP addresses will have been
assigned to your new nameservers in your welcome
email, and setup on our server.... but you still
have to register them with your registrar.
If you registered your domain name with us, then you can ignore this step; we will take care of registering your nameserver IPs for you. Otherwise, you'll have to go to your registrar, and do it through them. Once the nameserver IPs are registered, it will take
24-72 hours for them to propagate (just like
domain names), after which time you'll be able to update domain name registrations with your new nameservers.
An example of private nameservers and their
corresponding IP addresses is as follows:
Nameserver 1: ns1.yourdomain.com IP:
12.123.12.123
Nameserver 2: ns2.yourdomain.com IP:
12.123.12.124
So in the above example, you would have to
register your primary nameserver ns1.yourdomain.com
with the IP address 12.123.12.123,
and then register your secondary nameserver ns2.yourdomain.com
with the IP address 12.123.12.124.
Registering private nameservers is FREE to
do.... registrars to not charge for this service.
You must already own your domain name (yourdomain.com
in the above example) before you can register
private nameservers for it.... so you're already a
customer of your registrar's. Take a look at the
following flash tutorials that walk you through
the necessary steps with your registrar:
Propagation
Typically with most registrars, once you register
your private nameservers, you'll have to wait for
them to propagate (wait for the internet to
recognize them) before you'll be able to change
any domain name's DNS settings to point to your
new nameservers.
