To create child nameservers, all you need to do:

  1. Insert nameservers name

  2. Insert nameservers IP

  3. Save changes

Once that’s done, you will need to create A records for your new child nameservers. For that, follow this procedure:

  1. Copy your child nameserver IP or IPs (if you used different ones)

  2. Create new A records for each different IP child nameserver used:

NS 1 record

NS 2 record

NS 3 record (optional)

NS 4 record (optional)

Name: ns1

Points to: your child nameserver IP

TTL: Default

Name: ns2

Points to: your child nameserver IP

TTL: Default

Name: ns3

Points to: your child nameserver IP

TTL: Default

Name: ns4

Any DNS Record changes trigger propagation, which can last up to 24 hours to fully propagate.
