You can use custom nameservers by following these steps;
There are two ways to do this & both will be mentioned in this article. Please also note that if the IPs change, your custom nameservers won't automatically change but the ones we provide will.
- Log into your domain registrar's account.
- Go to "Advanced DNS" (This can be different depending on the registrar).
- Click on "Register Nameserver".
- Enter the IP and whatever you want to call the nameservers.
- If you don't know our nameservers IPs, you can ping them by running "ping nameserver.domain.tld" in console.
- After that is done, your nameservers should be working & if not, wait for them to propagate. (You can use this tool to check if they propagated or not)
- You should be done after the DNS propagation process.
That's the first way you can login, here's the second way on how to login;
- Log into your DNS manager.
- Add an "A" record pointing to the nameservers IP with the sub domain you'd like to refer to as the nameserver. ( Without proxying if using Cloudflare)
- Wait for DNS propagation, you can use this tool to check if they completed the propagation process or not.
- Once the DNS propagation process is done, your nameservers should be working!
