The following tutorial will explain how you can setup and create your own custom Nameservers as a reseller.

Creating Nameservers

3) Open the Zone Editor in cPanel & Select ‘A Records’ for your primary domain.

4) Enter the name of your preferred nameservers in the first field, and your Shared IP in the second field. Repeat this for all your namesevers (2 or 4).

Note : We may have multiple Nameservers IP’s, if we do you will be able to locate them in your welcome email and you should only use one IP Per Nameserver.

If you have followed all these steps correctly, you will now have completely custom nameservers, which will be almost impossible to trace back to our server. If you are still seeing our namesevers in the WhoisHostingThis & Whois database, please contact our support team and we will investigate for you.
