# Creating and Modifying Your Own Nameservers

If you prefer not to use the free Joker.com name service and instead want to use your own nameservers, you need to "register" it.

<p class="callout info">**Please note:** Creating nameservers (e.g., registering a hostname with an IP address to define a nameserver) **only works** with Joker.com if the domain used for these nameservers is **also a Joker.com domain**. This limitation is based on technical/registry constraints.</p>

If you intend to use a domain from another registrar, only that registrar will be able to register the nameservers with the registry.

To register your own nameservers, please follow these steps:

##### 1. Choose "Nameservers" from the "My Joker" menu:
