Joker.com FAQ
Create Name Servers and Records
If you do not want to use the free Joker.com name service, instead, you want to use a custom name server, you first have to "register" it. For this, please
- visit "My Domains", choose the domain to add a nameserver to
- click on 'Modify', and then the edit icon
in the section "Nameservers" - click on "register NS"
To add non-Joker.com name servers to a domain, please
- visit "My Domains", choose the domain to add a nameserver to
- click on 'Modify', and then the edit icon in the section "Nameservers"
- click on "Use custom nameservers"
To add IP addresses, URL- or EMail-forwardings or other DNS records to your non-Joker.com external name servers, please
- check which tools the provider of your external name server does provide
To add IP addresses or other DNS records to Joker.com name servers, please
- visit "My Domains"
- click on "DNS" next to the relevant domain
- find more about types of DNS records at Joker.com and how to configure name servers
Please note: Creating name servers (e.g. registering a hostname with an IP address to define a name server) does only work with Joker.com, if the domain used for these name servers also is a Joker.com domain.
This is a technical/registry-based limitation.
If a domain from another registrar should be used, only this other registrar is able to register the name servers with the registry.
Of course, just using external, already existing nameservers with any Joker.com domain is fine.
