Posted by Shakir M. on 19 August 2019 06:39 PM

Create your own DNS server on your own domain, as known as Child NameServer:

If you are VPS or Dedicated Server customer with the cPanel WHM access you can have your own Child NameServer. Once you get the child NS setup you will be able to manage your domain DNS within your control panel.


Requirement for Child NS:

1. A valid domain name such us “mydomain.com” or .net or any domain extensions.

 

2. Add Child Name Server on your domain registrar side. An example of Child NS will be as below:

 

ns1.mydomain.com 111.90.130.2 (The IP address will be replaced by your own server IP address)

ns2.mydomain.com 111.90.130.2 (The IP address will be replaced by your own server IP address)

Note: If you registered your domain with Shinjiru. Please request from our support team to add a Child NS for you on the domain registrar side. By submitting a ticket on https://247livesupport.biz or emailing out support team at support@247livesupport.biz.
