Delegating Your Domain Name for DNS Hosting

Creation date: 3/02/2025 10:59 PM    Updated: 3/02/2025 11:08 PM

Understanding Authoritative Name Servers

When you register a domain name, you need to specify authoritative name servers, which are responsible for managing the DNS records of your domain. These servers translate human-friendly domain names (e.g., yourdomain.com.au) into IP addresses that computers use to locate websites and services.

By delegating your domain to Webvault's authoritative name servers, you ensure that your DNS records are managed by Webvault, allowing for reliable and high-performance hosting.

Webvault Name Server Settings

To delegate your domain to Webvault's DNS hosting, update your domain registrar’s settings with the following authoritative name servers:

  • ns1.webvault.com.au

  • ns2.webvault.com.au

  • ns3.webvault.com.au

These settings ensure that Webvault manages your domain’s DNS records.

White Label Name Servers for Resellers and Website Providers

If you are a reseller or website provider who wishes to offer Webvault’s DNS hosting under a white-label service, you can use the following name servers:

  • ns1.cloudtoolbox.com.au

  • ns2.cloudtoolbox.com.au

  • ns3.cloudtoolbox.com.au

These white-label name servers provide the same reliable DNS hosting while maintaining a neutral branding for your customers.

Updating Your Name Servers with Webvault

If your domain is registered with Webvault, please log in to the Webvault Toolbox and check your name server settings to ensure they are correctly configured.
