But setting up private name servers is a little different, when you try changing the name servers with your domain name registrar.<\/p>\n<p>Usually your webhosting gives their nameservers to use, like this<br \/>\n<em>ns1.knownhost.com<br \/>\nns2.knownhost.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But we got private nameservers, specific to our domain name, like this<br \/>\n<em>ns1.quickonlinetips.com<br \/>\nns1.quickonlinetips.com<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Set Up Private Nameservers for Domain Names<\/h3>\n<p>When you login to your domain name registrar (we use Godaddy) to change DNS settings, you would simply need to <strong>edit the nameservers<\/strong> for your domain name to those suggested by your host and it would propagate over a few hours. But when we tried changing our domain nameserver, we kept getting &#8220;Nameserver not registered&#8221; errors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8441\" title=\"no nameserver\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/no-nameserver.gif\" alt=\"no nameserver\" width=\"373\" height=\"89\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We wasted a lot of precious time and effort on this, believing maybe the IP was not yet registered and linked to these nameservers. But actually this time it needed a little more technical skill than before.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8453\" title=\"host-summary-add\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/host-summary-add.gif\" alt=\"host-summary-add\" width=\"256\" height=\"33\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The trick is to locate the <strong>Host Summary<\/strong> details, which would normally be empty. Click the add link there to add\u00a0 your new private nameservers with their IP there. Create separate entry for each nameserver.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8442\" title=\"set host ip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/set-host-ip.gif\" alt=\"set host ip\" width=\"467\" height=\"123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/set-host-ip.gif 467w, https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/set-host-ip-300x79.gif 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you set your host name and IP, then the Host Summary details, which were blank before, now looks like this<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8443\" title=\"host summary\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/wp-content\/uploads\/host-summary.gif\" alt=\"host summary\" width=\"257\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now you can go ahead and<strong> change\u00a0 your nameservers<\/strong> the usual way and those &#8220;Nameserver not registered&#8221; errors will no longer be there, and your new name server change request will be accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Keep subscribed to share more of our experiences on shifting to VPS.
