GeekStorage Primary DNS Server IP Change

October 12, 2012 at 3:04 PM

At this time we have brought online a new DNS server to function as our primary nameserver. This will require an IP modification at your registrar if you are using your own custom nameservers. If you are using nameservers provided & maintained by GeekStorage, you do not need to worry about this update. If you are using private nameservers, which is most common among our reseller client base, you will need to update the IP address associated with your NS1 subdomain as soon as possible.

If you are using custom nameservers, such as ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com, you will need to check if you are using 65.254.36.170 or 65.254.36.172 for your DNS. If so, you will need to update your domain registrar with the new IP address for your private nameserver. Nameservers using 208.100.54.x, 67.202.92.x, or 208.117.43.x do not require any modification.

If you are currently using 65.254.36.170 for one of your private nameservers, update the associated nameserver to the new IP: 67.202.92.4

If you are currently using 65.254.36.172 for one of your private nameservers, update the associated nameserver to the new IP: 67.202.92.6

These changes must be made before October 25th, 2012!

If you are using ns1.geekstorage.com & ns2.geekstorage.com or our white-label nameservers, you do not need to change anything!
