How to Purchase Premium DNS for a Nixzoehost Domain
Upgrading your domain to Premium DNS is a simple process that can be completed entirely through your Nixzoehost Client Area. Whether you are registering a brand-new domain or upgrading one youve owned for years, here is the step-by-step guide.
Option 1: Adding Premium DNS During Domain Registration
The easiest time to secure your domain is at the moment of purchase.
-
Go to the Nixzoehost Domain Search.
-
Search for your desired domain and click Add to Cart.
-
On the Domains Configuration page, look for the "Available Addons" section.
-
Check the box for Premium DNS.
-
Click Continue to proceed to checkout. Your domain will be provisioned with Premium DNS active from day one.
Option 2: Upgrading an Existing Nixzoehost Domain
If you already have a domain registered with us and want to upgrade its performance:
-
Log in to your Nixzoehost Client Area.
-
Navigate to Domains > My Domains.
-
Locate the domain you wish to upgrade and click Manage (or the wrench icon).
-
On the left-hand sidebar, click on Addons.
-
Find the Premium DNS entry and click the Buy Now button.
-
Complete the checkout process. Once the invoice is paid, the Premium DNS management interface will be enabled for that domain.
Option 3: Purchasing via the Services Marketplace
If you want to browse all performance upgrades at once:
-
From the Client Area dashboard, go to Services > Order New Services.
-
Select the Premium DNS category from the sidebar.
-
Choose your plan (usually based on the number of queries or domains).
-
During configuration, the system will ask you to "Use a domain already in my shopping cart" or "Use a domain already registered with Nixzoehost."
-
Select your domain and finish the order.
What Happens After Purchase?
Once your order is confirmed, two things happen:
-
Service Activation: You will receive a Welcome Email containing your unique Premium Nameservers (e.g.,
pdns1.nixzoehost.comandpdns2.nixzoehost.com). -
DNS Management: A new "Premium DNS" tab will appear in your Domain Management area. From here, you can begin importing your existing DNS records into our global Anycast network.
Common Questions
| Question | Answer |
| Do I have to change my nameservers? | Yes. To use the premium network, your domain must point to the specific Premium Nameservers provided after purchase. |
| Will there be downtime? | No. If you import your current records before changing the nameservers, the transition will be seamless. |
| Can I cancel anytime? | Yes, you can manage the "Auto-Renew" status from the Addons section of your domain. |
Pro-Tip: If you are moving a high-traffic site, contact our Support Team after purchase. We can assist in pre-configuring your records to ensure 100% uptime during the switch.
