Custom Nameservers @ Minds&Machines

MTUser2012

I bought a cheap .work domain at M&M and see that support is taking Christmas/NewYears off (back January 4). I've had a look at the FAQ, but I don't see how to create/use custom nameservers so I can point them to my VPS. If it can be done by me, don't need support to do something for me, please could anyone enlighten me on how to set this up?

You can change your nameservers through your domain settings page. Once at the domain settings page click the settings icon next to 'Nameservers'. By clicking 'Custom' you can enter your own nameservers. You must have a minimum of two nameservers to save changes.

Yes. I tried putting in my nameserver, for example, ns1.mydomain.work, and when I mouse over the save button I see a circle with a diagonal line in it and the option isn't available. What am I doing wrong?

PS. Bind is already set up on the VPS and ns1 and ns2 resolve to the VPS

Thanks. I could now add two nameservers. When I try to save I get the error message ns1.mydomain.work is not a valid nameserver.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

you have to register them first, there should be an option to set NS and add IP.

if not then you cant.

I don't see any way to register nameservers. Maybe I shouldn't expect too much for my $1.39 or whatever .work domain name. I guess I'll just go buy a .com at namecheap or namesilo. I must be a slow learner under the "you get what you pay for" heading in the domain name space. LET has provided many examples of hosting providers where that maxim is not true.
