How to Modify Name Servers Using Bulk Tools

When you want to update name server settings for multiple domains. This article explains how to modify name servers in bulk using Bulk Tools.

Apart from modifying Name Servers of domain names individually, you may use the Bulk Modify Name Servers tool to modify Name Servers for multiple domain names belonging to your Customers and/or Sub-Resellers.

About Exceptions and Lock / Suspension
NOTE

The Bulk Modification feature is not supported for .TEL domain names.

If the domain names are locked by us, they need to be first unlocked by us before you can proceed with the Bulk Name Servers Modification.

For Resellers:

  • If you lock the domain names, you may proceed with the Bulk Name Servers Modification without unlocking them.
  • If the domain names are Suspended by either you or us, they need to be first Unsuspended, before you can proceed with the Bulk Name Servers Modification.
