Using Your Own Nameserver
If you manage your own nameserver, you can set it as the primary nameserver and use Domaindiscount24 nameservers as secondary nameservers for your domain(s). The necessary settings can be configured in your Domaindiscount24 customer account.
Steps to Enter Your Own Nameserver with ours as secondary
1. Login
- Log into your Domaindiscount24 customer account.
- Navigate to Domains -> My Domains.
- Select the domain name you wish to configure.
2. Configuration:
- In the configuration menu, select WHOIS/Nameserver.
- In the Nameserver section, set the Type to External Nameserver and enter your own nameserver as Nameserver 1.
- Activate the switch Use Secondary Nameserver.
Master IP Address
To ensure proper DNS zone management, Make sure to
1. Enter the Masters IP Address:
- Enter the IP address of your master nameserver, which provides the DNS zone for the domain. You can add up to eight IP addresses (IPv4 / IPv6) using the “Add” button. These are the IP Addresses our system will try to fetch the Zone from.
2. Select Secondary Nameservers:
- Choose one or more of the suggested nameservers as Secondary Nameserver. These will be added to the list of external nameservers and submitted to the registry after saving.
- Ensure the selected nameservers are registered on the primary nameserver in the DNS zonefile of the domain.
3. Allow Zone Transfer:
Ensure zone transfer is allowed for the following IP addresses on your master nameserver:
IPv4: 37.187.251.136
66.206.25.194
51.68.180.207
IPv6 (Optional): 2001:41d0:c:388:37:187:251:136
2604:4500:c:3:66:206:25:194
2001:41d0:700:1bcf::
4. Save Changes:
- Note that your current DNS Zone on the default nameserver will be deleted when using the secondary nameserver. Save the current configuration before making changes.
- Once the selection has been made and the zone has been saved, click on Save changes.
Using a Hidden Master
To use your own nameserver as a hidden master, do not enter the name of the nameserver in the list of external nameservers. Instead, enter the secondary nameservers as external nameservers. The zone transfer is ensured by entering the IP address of the master in the section “Use secondary name servers”.
Additional Notes
Ensure the selected nameservers are registered on the primary nameserver in the DNS zonefile of the domain. The list of Secondary Nameservers provided are suggestions. You can also use white label nameservers such as:
dns1.nsdns.info
dns2.nsdns.info
dns3.nsdns.info
In this case, manually enter the desired nameservers as “external nameservers” and ensure they are registered on the primary nameserver in the DNS zonefile of the domain.
