    DNS Delegation for DNScale Regions

    How to update nameserver delegation at your registrar for DNScale zones, including the nameserver sets for each region (EU, GLOBAL, EU_GLOBAL).

    When you create a zone in DNScale, you must point your domain’s delegation at the registrar to the nameservers for the selected region. Use the correct set below, then update your registrar to replace all existing NS records at the registrar level.

    Nameserver sets by region

    • EU

      • ns1.dnscale.eu
      • ns2.dnscale.eu

    • GLOBAL

      • ns1.dnscale.com
      • ns2.dnscale.com

    • EU_GLOBAL

      • ns1.dnscale.eu
      • ns1.dnscale.com
      • ns2.dnscale.eu
      • ns2.dnscale.com

    Tip: Use exactly the names above. Remove old nameservers when switching regions to avoid “mixed delegation” and inconsistent responses.

    Registrar update steps (general)

    1. Sign in to your domain registrar and open the domain’s DNS or Nameservers section.
    2. Choose Custom nameservers (or similar).
    3. Delete all existing nameserver entries.
    4. Add the DNScale nameservers for your zone’s region (see above).
    5. Save/apply. If prompted to confirm glue/hostnames, accept the provided hostnames.
    6. Wait for propagation (typically minutes to a few hours); you can verify with dig NS example.com.

    Registrar-specific notes

    • Cloudflare Registrar: In the “Domain Registration” tab, switch to “Custom nameservers,” remove the two Cloudflare defaults, add the DNScale nameservers, and save. Cloudflare will show a confirmation banner while propagating.
    • GoDaddy: Under Domain > Manage DNS > Nameservers > Change > Enter my own nameservers, replace all existing entries with the DNScale set, and save. Approve any confirmation dialogs.
    • Namecheap: Domain List > Manage > Nameservers > Custom DNS. Remove old entries, add DNScale nameservers, and click the checkmark to save.
    • Gandi: Domain > Nameservers > “Change” > Custom. Replace existing nameservers with the DNScale set and validate.
    • Google Domains (if applicable): DNS > Custom name servers. Remove defaults, add DNScale nameservers, and click Save.
    • Route 53 domains: In the Registered Domains console, edit the NS records and replace with DNScale nameservers (Route 53 allows four entries).

    Verification

    • dig NS yourdomain.com should return only the DNScale nameservers for the chosen region.
    • dig SOA yourdomain.com @<any DNScale NS> should return an SOA with DNScale nameserver in the MNAME field.
    • Avoid partial swaps—always replace all nameservers in one change to prevent resolution splits.
