Child Name Servers are custom name servers based on your own domain (for example, ns1.example.com). Delegating your domain to Child Name Servers allows you to manage DNS directly through these custom servers. For your domain to function correctly, all necessary DNS records must be set up on your Child Name Servers.

What Are Child Name Servers?

• Child Name Servers (also called glue records) are name servers that use your domain as their hostname, such as ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com745.

• These are commonly used if you want to run your own DNS or provide DNS services to others.

Steps to Delegate or Update Child Name Servers

1. Log in to your account dashboard.

2. Go to Domains > My Domains.

3. Click on the domain name you want to modify.

4. Select the DNS Settings tab.

5. Choose Delegate to Your Name Servers.

6. Enter your new Child Name Servers (e.g., ns1.example.com, ns2.example.com).

   • Click Add after entering each name server.

   • Most domains require at least two name servers.

7. Enter the corresponding IPv4 address for each Child Name Server.

8. Click Delegate to Your Name Servers to save your changes.

9. You will see an on-screen confirmation that your DNS has been updated successfully.

Important Notes

• If you are updating the IP address of existing Child Name Servers, please contact our support team via chat. This helps us monitor the update and confirm when the change is accepted by the registry.

• DNS changes, including delegation and web redirections, may take 24–48 hours to fully propagate worldwide.

• After delegation, all DNS records for your domain must be managed on your Child Name Servers for your website and services to work as intended.
