Nameservers

Pointing your domain at Suzko or somewhere else.

Nameservers are the "phonebook" for your domain — they tell the internet where to look up DNS records.

The default

Domains registered at Suzko default to our nameservers:

ns1.suzko.net
ns2.suzko.net

Use these unless you have a reason not to. They let you manage DNS right inside Suzko at /dashboard/domains.

When to use external nameservers

  • You manage DNS at Cloudflare for performance / DDoS / page rules.
  • You manage DNS at the host where your site lives (some all-in-one hosts require their own).
  • You're on a registry-specific DNS service (e.g. AWS Route 53).

Changing them

/dashboard/domains → your domain → NameserversEdit. Enter 2–4 nameservers. Save.

Propagation takes 1–24 hours depending on TLD and your ISP's caching. During propagation, requests resolve from old or new NS at random — this is normal.

DNSSEC

Off by default. If you turn it on (advanced; only do this if you know what DNSSEC is and your downstream services support it), we'll publish the DS records at the registry.

Glue records

For nameservers that live on the same domain (e.g. ns1.yourdomain.com), you'll need glue records (IP addresses for the nameservers, stored at the registry). The Glue Records section appears on the nameserver edit page when applicable.
