When you buy a server for hosting and the provider gives you an IP address. You can set up private nameserver such as ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is your own domain name. In this way, you can add your own branding for your domain nameserver.
How to set up a private name server?
You can easily set up the private nameserver for your domain and point it to your server. To do that, follow the instructions given below:
- Log in to IT Nut Hosting Client Area
- Click on the Domains section from the left sidebar
- Click on My Domain from the drop-down list
- Click on Manage button beside the domain that you want to manage.
- Click on the Private Nameserver button form Right Sidebar
- On the next page, you will find the options to register a new private nameserver, modify existing nameserver or delete an existing private nameserver of your domain. Enter the nameserver prefix on the Nameserver text box. For example, ns1 or ns2
- Enter the IP address of the server on the IP Address text box. Then click on Save Changes
- If you want to add multiple nameservers, you need to do these steps multiple times.

Once you have set up the private nameserver for your domain from Client Area, you also need to set A record for them from the hosting control panel too. You might need to contact your service provider for help regarding setting up A record on the hosting environment.
