Setting up Nameservers/DNS

How to set up Nameservers? #

Available Options #

  • %name%.sites.zorrito.store (Recommended over FreeDNS, request via Discord)
  • Your own domain
  • FreeDNS (Not recommended)

Root Domain Method #

To set up nameservers for a root domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), here are the generic step to change your nameservers for your domain.

  • Log into your domain registrar
  • Navigate to the domains list
  • Select your domain
  • Switch to custom name servers
  • Replace all nameservers with ns1.de.zorrito.store & ns1.de.zorrito.store
  • Now wait at most 48 hours for the nameservers to propagate around the world.

That’s it! Now you can wait until it propagates. You can check here at https://dnschecker.org/ns-lookup.php
Once it has been verified, in the meantime, you can set up your site on our panel.

Subdomains method (NS Records) #

If you do not have your own personal domain and are on a tight budget, you can use a subdomain from places such as https://freedns.afraid.org

You must create the following NS records:

  • @ NS ns1.de.zorrito.store
  • @ NS ns2.de.zorrito.store

The @ stands for your domain or a subdomain from your domain or a subdomain from a provider such as FreeDNS.Afraid.Org

NS means the type of record – name servers in this step.

ns1.de.zorrito.store and ns2.de.zorrito.store are our name servers.

That is it! You have set up your name servers for your site. #

If you are using FreeDNS, you must wait 60 minutes for the records to propagate. Usually up to 48 hours for root domains.
