Adding a Name Server (NS) record

You can add the record only if your service provider has enabled the capability in the DNS policy file. If not enabled, the control panel displays a message stating that the policy settings do not allow you to add the zone record. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

- Important: Add a Host (A) record before you create the NS record.

To add an NS record:

1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page
   , click Zones (DNS section).

2. In the Zone List form, locate the zone you want to add a record to, and in the Actions column, click . The Record List form opens. It displays all existing records for the zone.

3. Click Add NS Record. The Update Name Server (NS) Record form opens.

4. Optional: If you are creating a subdomain, enter the name of the subdomain in the Name Server Zone field; for example, ShoppingMall.acme.east.com.

5. Note: You must create the subdomain first, if you intend to use one.

5. In the Name server field, enter the host name of the DNS server responsible for the DNS resolution of this subdomain.

6. Click Add.
