How to create a custom Nameservers?

A nameserver is a server that translates domain names into IP addresses. When you enter a domain name into your browser’s search bar  the domain name is sent to the name server, which converts it to an IP address so the browser can find it.

A custom nameservers is created by people if they have a Reseller hosting or Virtual Private Server (VPS) account. It will be easy for your reseller clients to remember your nameserver. You can use custom nameservers in place of the nameservers offered by your web hosting company. Registering your own nameserver also means you can avoid giving away third-party details to your clients.

For example, if your domain is risenepal.com, you could create custom nameservers like ns1.risenepal.com and ns2.risenepal.com.

Follow the steps below to create a custom nameservers.
