Add DNS records at Name.com

These are the steps for Name.com. 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.

Both record types start the same way in Name.com, so these screenshots cover either one.

  2. Click MY DOMAINS at the top right.

  3. Choose the domain and click Manage Domain from its action button, the three dots.

  4. Click Manage DNS Records under DNS.

  5. Choose NS as the type, enter one nameserver value, and click Add Record.

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 Manage DNS Records and does not resolve.
