14. How to Configure Custom Nameservers with Meeky Boost Print

Custom nameservers allow you to brand your hosting experience by using your own domain instead of Meeky Boost's default nameservers. This guide walks you through setting up and configuring your private/custom nameservers.

???? What Are Custom Nameservers?

Instead of using generic names like ns1.meekyboost.com, you can use something branded to your domain, like:

• ns1.yourdomain.com

• ns2.yourdomain.com

This is especially useful for resellers and agencies who want a white-label experience for their clients.

????️ Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Register Nameservers with Your Domain Registrar

1. Log in to the registrar where your domain is registered.

2. Go to the section for Host Records or Child Nameservers.

3. Add the following entries:

   • ns1.yourdomain.com → [Enter your server IP]

   • ns2.yourdomain.com → [Enter your server IP]

Note: Use the IP address assigned to your server from Meeky Boost.

Step 2: Create A Records for Your Nameservers

1. Log in to your DNS management area (via Meeky Boost or registrar).

2. Add A Records for:

   • ns1 pointing to your server’s IP.

   • ns2 pointing to your server’s IP.

Step 3: Update Your Domain’s Nameservers

Now set your domain to use the custom nameservers:

• ns1.yourdomain.com

• ns2.yourdomain.com

Step 4: Configure Your Server to Recognize the Custom Nameservers

If you're using cPanel, CWP, or another control panel:

1. Go to Nameserver Configuration or Server Settings.

2. Enter your custom nameservers and restart DNS services.

For assistance, contact Meeky Boost support with your server type and panel.
