The name servers for your .DE domain name will need to abide by a certain criteria, which the below article will outline.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to change the name servers on your .DE domain name the new name servers must meet the following requirements:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You must have two authoritative name servers<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. You can verify if your name servers are authoritative by visiting<\/span> https:\/\/www.denic.de\/en\/service\/tools\/nast\/<\/a> and entering the domain name and its name servers to receive a reply.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. If the answer at ZoneCheck lists a non-authoritative answer at the top of the name server list, your name servers are not authoritative.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The name servers in the domain name\u2019s zone file must match the name servers you are trying to use, or your name servers would considered non-authoritative.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Each name server must be on a separate class-C network.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. The first three octets cannot be the same. For example, 216.1.69.1 and 68.42.99.120 are valid. 216.1.69.1 and 216.1.69.2 are not valid.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. You must have a Start of Authority (SOA) refresh value between 10000 and 86400 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. You must have a retry value between 1800 and 28800 seconds.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. You must have a Time to Live (TTL) value between 180 and 345600.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. You must specify a Mail Exchanger (MX) record that resolves to a valid mail server for the life of the domain name registration, not just for the registration itself<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Serial numbers for all name server zones for the domain name must match.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Important:<\/strong> This command causes a DNS check on the domain. If this check fails, your domain will be deleted (without a refund) four weeks after it was registered. It is important to re-run this command or configure the DNS by other means in order to keep the domain. You can run a DNS check by visiting<\/span> http:\/\/www.denic.de\/en\/background\/nast.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
