How Can I Register my own nameserver (glued records)?

Nameservers based on a domain name are called Glued Records (e.g., ns1.sampledomain.com & ns2.sampledomain.com based on sampledomain.com).

You may create glued nameserver records for your domains registered at iDotz.Net via the following steps:

  • Log into your iDotz.Net account
  • Click on the domain name
  • In the Domain Services area, click 'Register/Manage Nameservers'
  • Enter the HostName prefix for your nameserver (NS1, DNS1 or any other designation that you prefer)
  • Enter the corresponding IP numbers in the relevant boxes
  • Click ADD to register the nameserver.

Note: The nameserver registration option is only visible for domains that have the access enabled by their respective registries.
