Adding an NS Record

NS records specify the name servers for the domain. Each primary and secondary name server must be declared through this record. If you obtain secondary name services from an Internet service provider, be sure to insert the appropriate NS records.

To add the NS record, perform the following operations:

1. On the Domains page, select the domain which you want to add a new NS record to.
2. Open the DNS tab. Select the DNS Records subtab.
3. Click Add New DNS Record.
4. On the displayed page, select the NS DNS record type and specify the following DNS record properties:
   • Domain: enter the domain name for which you wish to create the NS record. If you are defining the NS record for your main domain, leave the available field blank.
   • Name Server: type the appropriate name server. You will need to enter the complete name (for example, ns1.mynameserver.com).
   • TTL (Time To Live): set how many seconds will elapse before the record is refreshed in the DNS cache. To set the TTL, choose between Default TTL, defined by your provider, or Custom. In the latter case, you must specify your own TTL for the record being created.

     Note: The TTL parameter can be edited later.

5. Click Finish.
