Custom Name Servers for VPS

Cpanel

The best practice is to add custom Name Servers before adding domains to your cpanel VPS.

  1. Set NS1.yourdomain.com and NS2.yourdomain.com to use the VPS server IP.
  2. Login to the cpanel WebHost Manager usually http://your-server-ip:2086
  3. Click "Basic cPanel & WHM Setup" and scroll to the bottom to view/set the "Nameservers".
  4. If you have already added domains to your cpanel server, edit each DNS zone setting any and all references for name servers to your new nameserver records.
  5. SSH into your cpanel VPS and run this script to update cpanel so it will recognize your new nameservers.
    • #/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/updatenameserverips
  6. Register your nameservers with the Cpanel server IP Address.
