What is a Glue Domain?


How to set glue records (required for name server registrations)


If your Name Server is in the same zone as your domain it is called a Glue Domain. A glue record is an A Record that specifies the address of the server.

For e.g if the Name Server(DNS) for domain-of-your-choice.com was ns.domain-of-your-choice.com then the NS record would look like this, but you will also need to have the following A record.

domain-of-your-choice.com NS ns.domain-of-your-choice.com

ns.domain-of-your-choice.com A 217.160.226.82

To do this, please create a subdomain "ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" and assign an IP Address to it. Once the IP Address has propagated you can assign "ns.domain-of-your-choice.com" as the DNS for your domain "domain-of-your-choice.com".

Please note
Your domain should have minimum 2 Name servers
