Private Nameserver series

10. Creating Private Nameservers at ItsYourDomain.com

This demo assumes you have a domain name registered through ItsYourDomain.com, and starts from their home page

Now let's learn how to create/register private nameservers (or custom nameservers)

Creating (or registering) private nameservers must be done with the domain registry where the domain name resides; to create ns1.yourdomain.com here, the domain yourdomain.com must be at this registry

1) Enter your itsyourdomain.com Username and Password in the boxes here

2) Then click Login

You are now logged in to your itsyourdomain.com account

3) Click the Name Server Management link here

4) Then click New to create a new name server

5) Enter the new nameserver name in this box

6) ..... and the new nameserver's associated IP address in this box (the IP address would have been provided to you by your web host)

7) When ready, click the Continue button to have the new nameserver created

When finished creating this nameserver, you'll have to repeat the process to register your second nameserver..... "registering private nameservers" requires you to register two separate nameservers (i.e. ns1 and ns2), each with it's own unique IP address

Remember that after you submit your new nameservers and IP addresses to the registry, it can take 24-48 hours for the new nameservers to propagate, after you make these DNS changes (just like for new domain name registrations)

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to register (or create) new private (or custom) nameservers. Remember that the domain name for which you want nameservers created, must reside in this registry
