Register Nameservers for Account Domain

New Account Domain (aka Primary Domain, First Domain, Server Account Domain) only: If the nameservers are not registered at this account domain’s registrar, follow steps as directed by that registrar. Some registrars require a support ticket to be submitted with a request. Some example registrar’s procedures are shown below.

  • Operational Notes:
    • Ensure unmanaged VPS is running (that has the ns1 & ns2 nameservers).
    • Sometimes, the registration process also auto-assigns that domain to same newly registered nameservers.
