Setting Branded Name Servers

We provide you with a free set of Partially Branded Name Servers for all the web services that you sell. These Name Servers are hosted on servers provided by us. These will be used by your Customers if they choose to activate any of your other services for their domain names.

You can alternatively choose to have your own Branded Name Servers pointed to ours and use them instead. You will be able to choose either one of these two options by following the process below:

  1. Login to your Control Panel. 1

  2. In the Menu, point to Settings, click Nameservers and select one of the following options:

    Use Partially Branded Name Servers

    You will be given 4 Partially Branded Name Servers, of the form

    <prefix>.mercury.orderbox-dns.com
    <prefix>.venus.orderbox-dns.com
    <prefix>.earth.orderbox-dns.com
    <prefix>.mars.orderbox-dns.com

    This <prefix> is the same as the one used for your Partially Branded Control Panel URL i.e., <prefix>.myorderbox.com.

    Use Branded Name Server

    If you want Branded Name Servers, then you would have to create A Records pointing to the IP addresses mentioned below.

    ns1.mydomainname.com
    ns2.mydomainname.com
    ns3.mydomainname.com
    ns4.mydomainname.com

    you would have to create Address (A) Records for each of your Name Servers, as shown below:

    • ns1.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these: 67.15.47.189, 67.15.253.220, 67.15.253.251

    • ns2.mydomainname.com: Create 3 A Records for this Name Server, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these: 74.54.56.227, 74.54.56.231, 74.54.56.236

    In addition to this, you would also have to create Child Name Servers for your domain name i.e., you would have to create Child Name Servers (Register Name Servers) for mydomainname.com, using the IP Addresses mentioned above.

    Create/Register all Child Name Servers with the following IP Addresses:

    • ns1.mydomainname.com: Create 3 Child Name Servers for this domain name with the same Host Name, each pointing to a unique IP Address from among these - 67.15.47.189, 67.15.253.220, 67.15.253.251

    Note

    • It is imperative that you create and use all Name Servers since these Name Servers are distributed in various Data Centers around the World and in case any one of the Name Servers is down, you and your Customers will not be impacted by this.

    • If you choose to use the Branded Name Servers, the Partially Branded Name Servers will be deleted by the system. The Partially Branded Name Servers will be created again, if at some point in time you choose to switch back to them.
