Add DNS records at Etisalat

These are the steps for Etisalat. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Follow the matching section below and enter the values you were given.

Adding NS records

Section titled “Adding NS records”

  1. Sign in to the Etisalat domain dashboard.

  2. Search for the domain and click MANAGE.

  3. Click Edit under Name Server.

  4. Enter one nameserver value and click Save.

You will have been given four nameserver values. Repeat the last two steps until all four records exist. A delegation with one of the four missing looks complete under Name Server and does not resolve.

  3. The Modify Name Server page, with the four NS fields prefilled with Etisalat nameservers, a red 4 beside Use Default Name Server and a red 5 beside Save, and + Add more Name Server and Back To Domain Details as the two controls outlined in red.
  4. The Register Name Server page at `nic.ae`, a different Etisalat portal signed in to a different account and a different domain, with Name Server and two Name Server IP fields filled in above Register Name Server. This is the glue record flow, which the steps above do not use.
