What Nameservers Should I Use for an Addon Domain?

Addon domain names should use the same nameservers as your primary domain. When you add an addon domain, it is essentially another domain that points to a directory within your main hosting account. To ensure proper functionality, the nameservers must be set to the same ones as your primary domain.

Tip: Nameservers act like the address book for your domain and are essential for directing visitors to your website.

How to Find Your Nameservers

Your nameservers were provided in your hosting welcome email when you initially set up your account. If you're unable to locate them, you can also check them through cPanel by following these steps:

1. Log in to your cPanel account.

2. Navigate to the Domains section.

3. Select Zone Editor.

4. You'll see your domain and the corresponding nameservers listed here.

Alternatively, the nameservers typically follow this format for Clouduxe hosting:

ns1.clouduxe.cloud
ns2.clouduxe.cloud

Be sure to use the correct nameservers provided in your welcome email or found in your hosting control panel. Incorrect nameservers can prevent your addon domain from resolving properly!

Setting Up Nameservers for Your Addon Domain

1. Log in to your domain registrar account where the addon domain is registered.

2. Look for the option to manage DNS or update nameservers.

3. Set the nameservers to match those of your primary domain.

4. Save the changes and wait for the DNS propagation, which may take up to 24-72 hours.

DNS propagation is the time it takes for the updated nameserver information to spread across the internet. It can vary depending on your ISP.

Why Are Nameservers Important?

Nameservers act as a link between your domain name and your web hosting server. Without correctly setting the nameservers, visitors won’t be able to access your website.

If you’ve set the nameservers correctly and allowed time for propagation, your addon domain will start working smoothly!
