How to Create Child Nameservers in OzSpeed

Child nameservers, also known as custom nameservers, allow you to create nameservers using your own domain (e.g., ns1.yourdomain.com). These are commonly used by resellers or advanced users who want a personalized DNS setup.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating child nameservers in OzSpeed hPanel.

Troubleshooting Common Issues #

1. Child Nameservers Not Resolving:
   • Ensure the IP address is correct and matches your server’s configuration.
   • Wait for DNS propagation (up to 24–48 hours).
2. Invalid IP Address:
   • Verify the IP address with your hosting provider. It should be static and publicly accessible.
3. Incorrect Hostname:
   • Use only valid subdomains (e.g., ns1, ns2). Avoid special characters or spaces.

Additional Notes: #

• Use Static IP Addresses:
  • Child nameservers require static IPs to ensure consistent operation.
• Backup DNS Settings:
  • Save your current DNS configuration before making changes.
• Allow Propagation:
  • DNS changes, including child nameserver creation, may take time to propagate globally.
