| Posted by YCDCN, 02-18-2012, 08:21 AM | | Hi,
as you can see i am new to this forum and also to web hosting from a reseller point of view.
The supplier i have chosen for my new venture has offered me Virtual Name Servers for £120 per year, The only reason i can see is that the end user (my customer) won't then see who my supplier is.
any advice would be appreicated. i'm sure there will be more questions as i try and launch the website over the next couple of months.
Thanks in anticipation.

Find another provider first. Custom nameservers should be free, not £120 per year. (Maybe a small one time fee)
You can create nameserver entries on your domain name yourself or have the domain name provider do it. Then you use those in your reseller control panel.

I'm using crocweb and they give me full Private NS. So, when i checked at intodns.com no crocweb label there

Most of the shared hosting hosting customers don't even bother running ping tests before they buy, so white label name servers are hardly needed.

At the end of the day, anyone who really wanted to know, and knew how to find out, could pretty easily track who you were with.

| Posted by public_html, 02-22-2012, 04:25 AM | | Is this the name server fees or your reseller hosting ?

| Posted by RenownedWeb, 02-24-2012, 09:49 AM | | Most cPanel reseller's use the option to allow unbranded nameservers meaning that you can use your own domain name servers. They should not be charging you for custom name servers.
