🌐 Domain Setup Guide

Configure your custom domain to use is-a-a.me

✅ Your Nameservers

To use is-a-a.me DNS hosting, point your domain registrar to these nameservers:

Primary Nameserver:
ns1.is-a-a.me
Secondary Nameserver:
ns2.is-a-a.me
💡 Tip: Keep these nameservers handy. You'll need them when configuring your domain registrar.

🔧 Setup Instructions for Namecheap

  1. Log in to your Namecheap account at namecheap.com
  2. Go to Dashboard → Domain List and find your domain
  3. Click Manage next to your domain name
  4. Navigate to the Nameservers tab
  5. Select Custom DNS from the dropdown menu
  6. Enter the two nameservers:
    ns1.is-a-a.me
    ns2.is-a-a.me
  7. Click Save Changes
  8. Wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation to complete
⚠️ Important: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. Your domain may not resolve immediately.

🌍 Setup for Other Registrars

If you're using a different domain registrar (GoDaddy, Google Domains, Bluehost, etc.), follow these general steps:

  1. Log in to your domain registrar's control panel
  2. Find the DNS Settings, Nameservers, or Domain Management section
  3. Look for an option to Change Nameservers or Use Custom Nameservers
  4. Replace the existing nameservers with:
    ns1.is-a-a.me
    ns2.is-a-a.me
  5. Save your changes and wait for DNS propagation (24-48 hours)

📝 After Setup: Request Your Subdomain

Once your domain points to our nameservers, you can request DNS records:

  1. Go back to the home page
  2. Create an account if you haven't already
  3. Use the Discover Subdomain form to request a subdomain under is-a-a.me
  4. Choose your DNS record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.)
  5. Enter the target value (your server IP, domain, or text record)
  6. Submit for admin review
  7. Once approved, your subdomain will be live!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How long does DNS propagation take? ▼
DNS changes typically propagate within 24-48 hours globally. Some areas may see changes within minutes, while others may take longer. You can check propagation status at dnschecker.org.
What DNS record types are supported? ▼
We support the following record types: A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (Canonical Name), TXT (Text records), MX (Mail Exchange), NS (Nameserver), and SRV (Service records).
Can I use is-a-a.me without my own domain? ▼
Yes! You can request subdomains directly under is-a-a.me (e.g., myapp.is-a-a.me). You don't need your own domain to use our service. However, if you want to use a custom domain, you'll need to point its nameservers to us.
How do I check if my DNS is pointing correctly? ▼
You can verify your DNS nameserver configuration using:
  • nslookup: nslookup -type=NS yourdomain.com
  • dig: dig NS yourdomain.com
  • Online tool: Visit whatsmydns.net and enter your domain
What if I have issues with DNS resolution? ▼
If your domain isn't resolving:
  • Wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation
  • Clear your browser cache and DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns on Windows)
  • Verify the nameservers are correctly configured in your registrar
  • Check that your DNS record request is approved by an admin
  • Contact support if the issue persists
Can I use is-a-a.me with email hosting? ▼
Yes, you can set up email hosting by creating MX records through our subdomain request system. However, you'll also need to configure SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records (via TXT records) to ensure proper email delivery.
