How Do I Create My Own Name Servers?

  1. Log into your Name.com account.

  2. Click on the 'Account' icon at the top of your page.

  3. At your 'Account' page, click on the domain name you wish to modify.

  4. Be sure that your domain is unlocked; to unlock, click on the padlock icon.

  5. On the 'Domain Management' screen, click 'Manage Name Servers' in the 'Control Panel' on the right side of your screen.

  6. Enter the prefix (e.g. ns1) in the 'Host Name' field.

  7. Now enter the corresponding IP address.

  8. Click 'Register'.

Note: you can create as many name servers as you'd like, but each server must resolve to a unique IP address.

Also note: the 'Register a Name Server' and 'Modify a Name Server' pages will not list the name servers you have created.

Be sure to update your current name servers. You can find detailed instructions in the section entitled 'How Do I Change My Name Servers?'.
