This thread is for the process we've commenced to notify all users (this mostly affects free DNS domains) who have both of their nameservers for a given domain located within the same datacenter.
Starting today we will be sending out notices that look like this:
After you update your nameserver delegation with your Registrar, log into the Zoneedit control panel, manage your domain and then update the NS records:
Once in the NS record editor, remove the same nameserver you replaced with your Registrar and add the new one assigned to you in the email you received:
You do this by clicking on "edit" in the NS module. Then:
Replace the same nameserver you dropped from the Registry with the new nameserver you've been assigned in your email:
Once you confirm the change you are done and your nameservers are now deployed across multiple datacenters, affording you a lot more resiliency and redundancy.
(* Remember that you can now move your Registrar over to Zoneedit, and we're doing a limited time promo where we're bundling free whois privacy with domain registrations and transfers for the first 5000 domains. Just click on the "Switch Registrar" link beside your domain name or under the Domain Overview tab.)
Starting today we will be sending out notices that look like this:
As we mention in the email, you should undertake this in 3 steps (we can't do this for you since in most cases we are not your Registrar*).From: Zoneedit Support <no-reply@zoneedit.com>
Dear Zoneedit User,
After our acquisition of Zoneedit we deployed our new nameservers into four main
datacenters worldwide: New York City, Miami, San Jose and Zurich.
We have determined that your domain example.com has both nameservers located in the
same datacenter.
To gain maximum resiliency in the case of a data center outage it is desirable that
the nameservers for your domain be in two different datacenters.
As such we are strongly recommending that you take the following steps:
1. Replace one of your current nameservers with:
ns11.zoneedit.com. (136.0.0.134)
2. Make a change with your Registrar or domain Registry to reflect this change.
3. Finally, log into your Zoneedit control panel (https://cp.zoneedit.com) and
edit your NS records reflect this change. To edit your NS records, manage your domain
and click on "NS" under the "DNS Settings" tab:
https://cp.zoneedit.com/manage/domains/ns/edit.php
We have posted step by step instructions about how to do this in the Support Zone:
Unfortunately we cannot make this change for you as in most cases we are NOT the Registrar for example.com
