This article shows you how to register and update Child Name Servers (also known as Glue Records) under your domain using your 101domain account.
Use this guide if you want to:
-
Create custom name servers under your domain (for example,
NS1.YOURDOMAINNAME.COMandNS2.YOURDOMAINNAME.COM). -
Assign the correct IP address(es) to your name servers so they can be used for your DNS.
Before You Start: Not all registries support Child Name Servers. If you are unsure whether your domain supports this feature, please contact our Support Team.
Steps
-
Click on the Domain Names tab.
-
Click on the domain that you wish to register Child Name Servers under.
-
Once on the domain overview page, scroll down to the Name Servers & Records section.
-
Click on Advanced DNS Settings then, click on Register or Update Child Name Servers.
-
Click on Register New Name Server.
-
Enter the desired Host Name (typically NS1.YOURDOMAINNAME.COM) and the IP address.
-
Repeat step 7 for the secondary name server (NS2 is a typical Host Name for secondary servers).
