I accidentally removed the name servers (NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM) and can't replace them

Posted on June 28, 2016

The reason I removed them in the first place was in was going to take them out and put them back in because it was acting up and my domain wouldn’t work. If I try and re-add them I get the message “Name digitalocean.com is a reserved domain”. I also cant re-add the @ record “Name can not be LTD”.

The correct record to add is ns1.digitalocean.com. and not ns1.digitalocean.com

For your @ record, I would suggest typing @ in the Enter Name field.
