What are private nameservers?

Private nameservers are used essentially to hide the fact that you are hosting on a shared server..  If you do not set up private nameservers someone does a nameserver lookup on your domain it will show ns1.nixihost.com and ns2.nixihost.com

Once you set up private nameservers when someone does a nameserver lookup on your domain it will show ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com which will mask that you are using our services.  Your clients can also use ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com instead of the default nameservers.

Depending on what registar you used for your domain name you may be able to set up your private nameservers on your own or you may have to contact your registrar to have them set up for you.

If you purchased your domain with us, then you simply need to submit a ticket to sales@nixihost.com and request to have private nameservers setup for your domain. It is a very simple process and is free of charge.
