How do I setup custom nameservers on my DirectAdmin Reseller account?

To setup custom nameservers on your DirectAdmin Reseller Account, you need to do the following:

1.) Ensure that your domain registrar allows you to create custom nameservers with your domain name.

2.) Purchase 2 dedicated IPs (please contact Sales for dedicated IPs)

3.) Choose the prefix you wish to use with your domain, e.g.

ns1.yourdomain.com
ns2.yourdomain.com

5.) From the main DirectAdmin Reseller panel, click the "Name Servers" icon. Check the two IP addresses you have been assigned, and select the domain name from the dropdown box at the bottom of the table. Then click the "Create Nameservers for" button.

6.) Ask your domain registrar to set them up using the two IP addresses that you purchased for the primary and secondary nameservers, e.g.

ns1.yourdomain.com - 123.56.78.90
ns2.yourdomain.com - 123.56.78.90

7.) Wait for nameservers to resolve(can take upto 24 hours)
