Custom DNS for reseller

Introduction

If you have a reseller plan, you may want to offer DNS with your own brand, for example:

ns1.yourbrand.com
ns2.yourbrand.com

This gives a more professional image and keeps customers from seeing the provider’s default nameservers directly.

What you need

Before setting this up, make sure you have:

• An active reseller plan.
• A domain you will use as your brand.
• The correct IP addresses for ns1 and ns2.
• Access to the panel where the domain is managed.

How the setup works

The usual process is:

1. Create the Child Nameservers or Glue Records.
2. Link them to their IP addresses.
3. Configure the reseller service to answer with those DNS.
4. Tell your customers to use those nameservers.
5. Wait for propagation.

Conclusion

Custom DNS in a reseller plan lets you work under your own brand. For it to work correctly, it must be backed by properly configured Glue Records and the right technical setup behind them.
