In this tutorial, we will show you how to easily register private nameservers for a domain name registered with Namecheap.<\/p>\n

What are Private Nameservers?<\/h2>\n

Private nameservers allow you to set up nameservers for your domain of choice. Let’s say you are operating a web hosting business and don’t want people to Google our nameservers and find out you resell hosting thru us. Using private nameservers, you can avoid just this problem.<\/p>\n

For example, having your own nameservers also gives you a more professional appearance than just plain nameservers. ns1.bobshostingshack.com is pretty professional compared to our default nameservers. \ud83d\ude0f<\/p>\n
