Upgrades / Downgrades (Plan Changes)

Virtual DNS

Virtual DNS allows you to customize your own nameservers for your domain name. For example: your domain name probably currently points to NS1.WEBXESS.NET and NS2.WEBXESS.NET in the “Whois” record of your Domain Registrar. With Virtual DNS, you can create customized nameserver information such as: NS1.yourdomain.com and NS2.yourdomain.com. Each custom nameserver address includes its own unique IP address. Each order includes two nameserver addresses with corresponding IPs. This is an excellent option for resellers.

There is a one-time set-up fee of $25 per order. After that the monthly cost is $10.00/mo.
