Configure Nameservers
Before adding any domains, it is important to first create nameservers to ensure valid DNS zone files and proper propagation.
Configuring Nameservers involves two key steps:
- Create private nameservers (glue DNS records) for your domain through your domain registrar.
- Add the nameservers to the OpenPanel configuration.

To add nameservers in OpenPanel, navigate to OpenAdmin > Settings > OpenPanel and enter your nameservers in the ns1
and ns2
fields, then click Save changes.
Alternatively, you can set nameservers via terminal commands:
opencli config update ns1 your_ns1.domain.com
opencli config update ns2 your_ns2.domain.com
Currently, you can add up to 4 nameservers.
INFORMATION
After creating nameservers it can take up to 12h for the records to be globally accessible. Use a tool such as whatsmydns.net to monitor the status.
If you still experience problems after the propagation process, then please check this guide: Troubleshooting DNS.
