Setting up private name servers

Private name servers would be:

What are the benefits of having your own name servers?

Many resellers choose to have their own name servers for appearance reasons. Using our anonymous name servers of ns1.websitewelcome.com and ns2.websitewelcome.com can be less professional looking for a hosting company. But, other then the "look" of using private name servers; there are no benefits.

How do I go about getting my private name servers setup?

1. You will first need to email us with your domain name requesting that we set them up for your account. After doing so we will email you back with your name servers and the ip addresses assigned to them.

2. You will now need to create the name servers at the place you registered your domain from. Every registrar has a different process for creating private name servers. If you purchased your domain from one of the below registrars click on their name for a step by step walk through. If they aren't listed below continue reading....

Dotster | Enom | GoDaddy | ItsyourDomain | Network Solutions

Directnic | OpenSRS | Wild West Domains | 000domains.com

Try and look for something along the lines of "register DNS" "create DNS" or "add DNS" from within your account with your registar. The only way to create Name Servers is by using the ip addresses we assigned to your ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com If there isn't a field asking for the ip you are not at the right place.

NOTES

CHANGING YOUR DOMAINS DNS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS REGISTERING NAME SERVERS.

YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE YOUR SITES DNS TO YOU PRIVATE NAME SERVERS UNTILL YOUR PRIVATE NAME SERVERS ARE REGISTERED WITH YOUR REGISTAR.

SOME REGISTARS DON'T EVEN HAVE AN OPTION FOR YOU TO CREATE PRIVATE NAME SERVERS ON YOUR OWN. IN MANY CASES EMAILING THEM TO DO IT FOR YOU IS THE ONLY OPTION.

HELP

If you can't figure out how to register your private name servers with your registrar read their FAQ and look for a question along the lines of "How do I register name servers" If you can't figure it out from either reading their faq or navigating through your account with them you will need to email them asking...

"I want to create name servers for my domain. They are ns1.yourdomain.com with the ip of (insert the ip we assign here) and ns2.yourdomain.com with the ip of (insert the ip we assign here)"

My private name servers are registered now what?

After your Name servers have been created you will be able to use them for all of your domain names hosted with us. This part of the process is called "changing dns" If you don't know how to change your sites dns please go to http://www.1site.net/support/dns_index.htm for many flash movies on how to do so.
