Register branded nameservers (glue records)

Private nameservers—ns1.yourbrand.com and ns2.yourbrand.com—let reseller customers see your domain on DNS instead of PosaHosting hostnames. You need a reseller plan and a domain to point at your server IP.

1. Register glue at the registrar

At PosaHosting (same flow at most registrars):

  1. Sign in → DomainsMy Domains → select the domain.

  2. Under Manage, open Private Nameservers.

  3. In Register a Nameserver Name, enter ns1 (or your prefix) and the server IP from your welcome email. Save, then repeat for ns2 on the second IP or the same IP if you only have one.

2. Publish A records for ns1 and ns2

Glue registration alone is not enough—the hostnames must resolve. Add A records where the domain's DNS is hosted.

cPanel

  1. Sign in to cPanel (yourdomain.com:2083).

  2. DomainsZone EditorA Record.

  3. Name ns1, value = server IP. Add another for ns2.

DirectAdmin

  1. Sign in to DirectAdmin (yourdomain.com:2222).

  2. Account ManagerDNS ManagementAdd Record.

  3. Type A, name ns1, value = server IP. Repeat for ns2.

Allow a few hours for DNS propagation before assigning the new nameservers to client domains.
