RegisterNameServer

Register a domain name server.

Usage

Use this command to register one of your own servers as a domain name server.

Availability

All resellers have access to this command.

Constraints

The query must meet the following requirements:

  • The login ID and password must be valid.
  • The server you register must use a domain name that is in your account.
  • eNom must be licensed with the Registry in which you want to register a name server; you can only register name servers for TLDs that we support.
  • The registrar lock for the domain must be set to off while you register a name server. You can switch the registrar lock back on (and we recommend that you do so) once the name server is registered.
  • Name servers for .us names must be located in the United States.
  • .co.uk and .org.uk names must have at least two name servers.
