Unstoppable domains, disappointed: No support for Glue Records (Private Nameservers) in 2025?

[Henx]

Hi All,

I am writing this to express my frustration regarding a surprisingly basic missing feature in the Unstoppable Domains panel: Glue Records (Private Nameservers).

We are in the AI era. You are positioning yourselves as a cutting-edge registrar with aggressive marketing strategies, claiming to revolutionize the domain industry. Yet, it is baffling that I cannot simply register ns1.mydomain.com to point to my own server IP within your dashboard.

This is a fundamental feature that every single one of your competitors offers seamlessly in their control panels. It is the industry standard. What makes it worse is the complete lack of transparency; there is zero mention of this limitation in your help documentation. I wasted a significant amount of time searching for a "Host Names" or "Glue Records" section, only to realize it simply doesn't exist.

If you claim to be a modern and ambitious player in this market, you need to provide the basic tools that professional users need. Excluding such a standard feature while marketing yourselves as "the future" is a major contradiction.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously and this feature is added soon.

I've submitted dozens of questions and suggestions to Unstoppable on X, and their product manager is really mediocre; various issues remain unresolved. Previously, aside from transfer fee discounts, there weren't any particular advantages. Now, even the transfer fee discount is gone for me, so there are no advantages whatsoever.

Is this still the case @Unstoppable Domains ?

I actually was planning to create my own nameservers but if UD doesn't allow, that causes an issue for names with you

yes, we do not support glue records because it's a lot of effort and few customers need this feature. maybe in the future

of course, you can still use custom NSs for domains at UD. you just can't run a nameserver with our DNS
