How to have your own nameservers

Posted on May 15, 2014

I was reading this article : How To Create Vanity or Branded Nameservers with DigitalOcean Cloud Servers but I don’t think I understand it

when I add a domain in DigitalOcean > DNS, I am asked to enter the following : ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com

for the name server, is it possible to set up a MainDomain with custom name servers: (ex: ns1.MainDomain.com) so if I add another domain, the person can enter the MainDomain name servers instead of DigitalOcean name servers?

hope the question is clear, I have been reading so many articles about this but can’t get this working

thanks
