Summary

In this article we will be configuring Hestiacp web panel to use your own nameservers.

with this we will be taking the nameservers away from you domain name suppliers nameservers and letting hestiacp handle it for you.

To login to the Hestiacp web panel you will take the information supplied after we installed the panel and log into it via our browser.

Under DNS

The hostname is the one you set when installing (fully qualififed domain name)

I am gioing to use 123-reg as an example as it is a simular process for all domain name registrars.

Login to the control pannel of your domain name provider and select the Domain name that you are configuring for your Hestiacp Web Panel.

Under this section you should be a list of options including DNS, advanced DNS and Name Server.

You need to find the change name servers option.

here you will enter

NS1.domainname.com

External IP address of your server

NS2.domainname.com

External IP address of your server

It can take upto 24hrs for the changes to be complete

Now go back to Hestiacp panel and click on DNS

Edit the DNS Zone

Change the following

Click on DNS

Click on "Edit DNS Zone"

Change Template to Child-ns

The SAO should be the NS1.DomainName you set earlier.
