How do I change/update my nameservers (DNS)?
You can change your nameservers by logging into your GKG account and clicking on domains > my domains > manage domains. If you have more than one domain name, select the domain(s) you would like to change the name servers on and press CONTINUE.
On the next page, simply scroll down to the bottom and find the "Nameservers" section and enter the new name servers you wish to use. For those editing only one domain, click "Change" to access the nameserver change form.
NOTE: Name Servers can not be IP addresses, they must be fully qualified domain names (FQDN), and must be registered with the registry. Proper syntax for nameservers is as follows:
- ns#1.domain.tld (e.g. NS3.GKG.NET)
- ns#2.domain.tld (e.g. NS4.GKG.NET)
If you get an error message "Not a registered (COM)" then the name server does not exist at the registry. You will need to contact whomever gave you those name servers and ask them to register them for you. If you are entering your own name servers and your domain name is registered with GKG.NET, INC., then you can register those name servers here free of charge.
The domain you are creating the name server(s) for must be registered with GKG.NET, INC.
